[AccessD] Members in Bermuda?

Yes I have heard of Island Fever and yes I have been there, but only for a
few days, but there are direct flights back to Toronto or NYC or Miami so no
problem. It costs a bunch to live there but it's compensated. I am so
looking forward to this, and meanwhile trying to learn about hedge funds.
Turns out the topic is very complex, but I'm trying, and packing, and
realizing that 80% of the stuff I own I don't care about. It's an
interesting execercise to move to another country. What do you want to
bring? What do you want to store in a rented storage locker? I have
discovered some "zen-like" principles here. What ultimately matters is
several changes of clothing, a powerful notebook, a few CDs and DVDs and
that's about it. This raises the question, why did I bother accumulating all
the rest? I cannot provide a good answer to that. I have a large collection
of first editions of various novels, all signed, and I think that when I'm
dead the authors' signatures will increase the value of same, but they are
artefacts not regularly-used items.

This exercise of moving to another country has been a huge learning
experience for me. What do I own that I need to take? The answer is, Very
little. A few changes of clothes and a few CDs. The rest shall lie in
storage, and if I need it I'll return and fetch it from the locker.

One thing I'm taking, for sure, is "Miller's Crossing", my fave movie of all
time. I'lll probably also take "Beethoven Cello Sonatas" by Jacqueline du
Pre and the superior version by Jackie and Stephen Bishop, and Shakti -- all
and everything.

In planning a move such as this, it's remarkable (at least to me) how little
stuff I have accumulated really matters. The physical stuff matters not at
all, other than a few changes of clothing. The rest, apparently, is just
junk.
Besides changing countries, this has been an interesting exercise in what I
care about. Turns
