It's amazing how much stuff you don't actually need. Donate all your furniture. Throw out the old Valentine's cards and college term papers. Get rid of most of your kitchen stuff, except what's really important to you, or was important to your great-grandmother. Leave stuff in the alley and it'll be gone in ten minutes. Give away three-quarters of your clothing - do you wear all of it, anyway? - and put next season's stuff in storage. In all, I walked away from 14 years of adult life with a dozen Rubbermaid containers. They are well-organized in a storage unit downtown by the bus station, beside Mark's motorcycle. I have less stuff now than when I left for college.
You know what? I don't miss all that crap one bit.

Did you ever find out who the management company is that runs River city Marina?
