I can't really put my finger on why. But I hate packing. I suppose it is at least partly because I am so unorganized. I know some of it has to do with the fact that I loath change. I hate change the way bomb victims hate the sky, the way Sarah Palin hates the truth, or the way Ken Ham hates science. I just detest the thought of packing to go away. And when I get to where I am going I hate the thought of packing up to go back home. Moving sucks. If it is to a new apartment or to the Bahamas it is a horrible thing to do.
I like having all my stuff with me. I don't know what I am going to need next Friday. How do I pack for that? I don't know what I am going to wear tomorrow let alone next Wednesday. Plus it was 50 degrees today and it is supposed to snow tomorrow. Pack for that? How?
So far we have virtual email, virtual meetings, hell virtual reality. When are we going to have virtual packing? Procrastinators like me need that damn Holodeck from Start trek. That would be amazing. I would pay retail for that. Money is no object compared to not having to estimate the pairs of underwear I should bring to Cleveland.
Sorry this is short. But I have to pack.

She pulls her humor from everyday observations and classic stories of family, travel, pets, and adversity. With razor-sharp crowd work and improvisational skills to the rock-solid timing of a veteran performer, Michelle’s act is not to be missed!
