So, if you haven't noticed yet, there is currently a 30-ft horse trailer parked catty-cornered across the drive. It may be blocking some cars from getting out.

It's mine. I call her the Monster.

What you don't realize is that rather bedraggled-looking trailer contains all of my worldly belongings, including a lot of boxes. One of those boxes is full to bursting with packing peanuts, which are in turn carefully swaddling a bottle of Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1955, a bottle of Jean Grosperrin 1958, and a selection of midwestern beers and wines. Whoever unpacks that box gets to keep it, and I'll provide for any other brave volunteers from the rest of my supply.

That's right, I'm bribing people to help me unpack in the middle of the night with fine booze. And possibly pizza. Is there a place with reasonably unburnt crusts that delivers around here?

If you want to take me up on the offer, I'll be the fellow lugging boxes up to 507. And furniture too, if nobody responds to my siren call of pizza, booze, and not being able to drive their car in the morning.

Sorry about that. It was the only place I could park her. Also, hello.

~~I'd like for it to not end up being 'too much' of a problem.~~

With help, how long would you estimate it'd take? I have work in the morning but I'm something of a night owl; I could help move a few things. Even if I doubt that a trailer filled with all your worldly possessions could possibly be completely emptied by a quarter to 9 A.M. or shortly after. And anything 'shortly after' that time would throw my schedule off, anyway. No need for the liquor in my case, I'm not much of a drinker.

	Not long at all. There are maybe ten or eleven pieces of actual furniture, and most of the rest of it is just boxes. As soon as they're all upstairs, I'll find a place to stash the Monster. So, maybe an hour? Maybe two? It depends on how many people help. A teetotaler, eh? ~~I'm not sure what else to offer.~~ Promise you'll at least take me up on the pizza?

	All right, count me in for moving assistance; I'll be down shortly. ~~Because the faster I get downstairs to help, the faster this trailer can be moved.~~ Oh, no. I tend to practice everything in moderation. But I wouldn't mind a little pizza... (Reply to this) (Parent)
