    Getting Ready to Move

    During the first week of November I'll move from Consejo Village, population just over one hundred, to Corozal Town, population about ten thousand. Going from a rural fishing village to a major urban centre will require some adjustment.

    A move of some sort is made necessary because of plans by the landlord to tear out the wooden centre section of the house I've lived in for the past two-and-a-half years and replace it with concrete. Given a lack of other suitable housing in the village, a move to town is logical.

    Some time will be required to get used to the busy streets, the bright lights, the hustle and bustle of urban living.

    A population of 10,000 is a village.

    I hope the move goes well for you.

    Look at all the pluses:

    Go out for a walk at night, there’ll be a girl on every corner, maybe some of those highly desirable Mayans.




    Fast food.

    Germ-killing air.

    The camaraderie of the doctor’s waiting room.

    &c

    Good for you, Garza, I'm glad to see you're finally coming back from massachusets.

    Good luck with the move. Do you already have a new house rented?

    Kind of sad, but a new situation can be good for the soul. I hope you find a great place.

    Good luck on the move, Garza. It should be fun, the city, huh?

    Things are always on the change in life, some of these changes we want and other's we dread or fear. Either way we have to deal with them, i think we have to try and embrace the new and go with the flow.

    Good luck, Garza

    Hope all goes well for you.

    Okay, time for serious now.

    You're 71, you have 'puters coming out of your cloaca and a health problem. Do you really want to move? Could you and your landlord come up with a plan ($?) that moves you from room to room while the renovations go on around you?

    Look forward to it. You'll have more company.

    I'm moving out next week to about not even a mile away but slightly closer to the City Centre. It's a very stressful experience. I can't begin to imagine how stressed out you are.
