On the Turnpike with the Big Boys

On the Turnpike with the Big Boys

 I packed up, battened down the hatches, took the RV for my first dump station experience, and then drove off to Brooklyn to pick up my friend Margaret, who had agreed to join me on this Shakedown cruise. We planned to drive the Jersey Turnpike all the way south through a tiny bit of Delaware, and on into Maryland, to Elk Neck State Park. It was about 150 miles from Brooklyn to the park.

Cleaning Out/Donations

January 22, 2015 Clancy McKenna

I have one cabinet that has two 36” long lateral file drawers, plus a standard two-drawer file cabinet.  Then, there are two Container Store plastic tubs, with materials for my book project.

Thoughts About Leaving

December 6, 2014 Clancy McKenna

I've been thinking about getting my life, my apartment ready for me to be away for a year or so. The first thing I need to do is stop some of the mountain of mail that comes into this house.
