A few years ago, my dad was laid off from IBM, where he'd been working for more than 25 years. Two weeks ago, he quit his job at a local small-business tech-support place. Last week, my mom told IBM she was retiring at the end of February. Their plan? Finish the (until last week, somewhat languishing) work to their bedroom, sell the house and most of their belongings, buy an RV, and spend a year travelling the country. When my dad says "Everyone thinks we're nuts", he doesn't count me. I think it's a great idea and they'll have loads of fun, and they'll come home to a much simpler, calmer life.
I didn't move to Connecticut until I was 6, but I consider Danbury my home town. It'll be sad to know that a different family is living in the house that was built just for us. It also means I'm suddenly on the hook to stop using my old room as miscellaneous storage space. But I always knew I couldn't hold onto the past forever. I'm behind this idea 120%.

This picture was taken with the Nokia N95 I got from Jeff. He got it for free from work, but then he upgraded to an iPhone. I couldn't say no. I'm weak.
