  1. All of his winter clothes, since it’s summer in the southern hemisphere now and since Brisbane has a sub-tropical climate, anyhow.
  2. A bed that needed stripping.
  3. Wet laundry in the washing machine.
  4. Dry laundry that needed folding.  And putting away.
  5. Several food items from his Christmas stocking that he never got around to eating. (Cherry chipotle jerky, anyone?)
  6. Several bags of snacks that he bought and never got around to eating. (Lime and sea salt tortilla chips, anyone?)
  7. Some dirty dishes under the couch in the TV area.
  8. A tangled nest of cords from electronic devices, although he did box up stereo and computer components.
  9. A dusty desk, visible now that the electronics are gone.
  10. Wrappers from batteries and USB sticks and SD cards.
  11. A credit card bill for airfare for the semester-break trip to New Zealand.
  12. That cute little 4-inch-tall stuffed owl that he would tuck into his backpack whenever he went on vacation or camping with the Boy Scouts.
  13. A Mommy who misses him terribly, and yet is thrilled that he has this opportunity. (Kleenex, anyone?)
