Hi all, Thanks much for all the responses to my post about moving and downsizing, a change inspired primarily by having PD. It's good to know that many others are facing the same kind of decision. I appreciated the comment about using a move as an opportunity to lighten one's load, e.g., of books. Books so often get used as household ornaments, when in fact they are a kind of process--you read them, but after that they just sit there. I'm getting rid of 98% of my books. I use the library instead, and they can deal with the space issue. If only I could get my wife to share my approach :-) Rick 49 years old, dx 47
