Whoops! What I thought was a 36-quart cooler is only 28 quarts -- the "36" on the big label pasted to it refers to the number of 12-ounce cans it's designed to hold. When I started loading it up, three tupperdors and a 15-stick traveldor wouldn't fit -- also the 100-stick desktop, but I already knew it wouldn't.

Oh, well. I will pack the overflow into a moving box along with my ashtrays (which I forgot to consider when I started packing "cigarstuph" -- oops!), keep the little cooler for picnics, and buy a larger cooler for cigars after I'm settled at the new place.

Speaking of which: I get the keys Wednesday, movers will be here Friday, I hope to be completely moved by this time next week. Still too many boxes to finish filling, and just making my way through the apartment is getting hard to do. On the positive side, the weather today is nice (finally!) and I need a break from packing; I'm thinking about taking a drive in the country, with a couple of leafy friends to keep me company.
