A partial list of what has been unearthed in the quasi-archaeological expedition that we call moving.....and I haven't even arrived at the really mysterious level: the stuff that has been in storage for the past five years...I will be surprised if we don't find a missing person somewhere in this pile, or at least the ashes of a dead pet. But that was the garage-cleaning story...
