Accomplishment

We moved Katie into her new apartment--well, most of the way. There was a valiant struggle with a television, but we, as intelligent primates, used our abstract imaginations and conquered the force of gravity. I saw many strange things today... an early 20th century school building turned into a dentist office that reeked of the 1970's... a pink stuffed centipede, at least six feet long... a house of evil dolls and one quite amiable collie. Earlier in the day I had called upon the power of Tetris to pack a Pontiac full of boxes, no two of which matched. To maintain our strength we drank water purified by reverse osmosis and shared Twix cookie bars. One of us fell early (the plague, I'm afraid) but she was with us in spirit. By nightfall the apartment was in beautiful disarray, stuffed with antiques and possibly 3 million spiders biding their time in the bottoms of boxes. That, however, is a challenge for another day... the point is, independence has been declared, and standing between her and reclamation by the Motherland is one massively cumbersome television.
