I’m going on a trip, and in my bag…

I’m going to pack, an Apple, a Beret, a Cello…

Did you ever play that game? Each person takes a turn adding another item with the next letter of the alphabet (and also naming all the previous items). Players are eliminated as they forget what’s on the list. The last person left wins. Anyway, we used to play it on road trips a lot when I was a kid, and I think of it every time I pack. (Though these days my list might look more like: Emergency Kit, Flares, Go-Bag.)

I’m leaving today for a brief trip so you won’t be hearing from me until Monday. In the meantime, check out our monthly e-newsletter! We have a new sign up feature on this page, located in approximately this direction:
