I’ve reached that age where each passing year seems to fly by at an ever increasing speed. By the time I’m 90, a year will seem like a day. However, this year is proving to be an exception to the trend. 2008 seems to be taking a lifetime.

It might have something to do with the demolition. We started a major renovation project last month, and our house has been gutted. As a result, we’ve been forced to move out. It’s sort of hard to maintain a home office when construction workers are knocking down walls.

My last move was 14 years ago, and let me tell you, it’s amazing how much junk can accumulate in that period of time. I feel fortunate that I joined the cult of GTD a few years back. During my purge it became obvious that most of what got purged was pre-GTD. If nothing else, this move has validated the effectiveness of GTD — even my quirky and somewhat limited personal implementation of GTD.

Meanwhile we’re living in an apartment while we wait for our contractor to rebuild our house. I haven’t lived in an apartment since I first moved to LA, and I have to say, this pseudo-upscale urban lifestyle is not for me. Outrageously high rent, bad plumbing, noisy neighbors, and the worst cable company in the world aren’t exactly my idea of a quality life.

If my back yard wasn’t full of lumber I might just go home and pitch a tent.
