[OM] Vacation Packing - Another Attempt at Futility

No big deal...I do it, have done it that way, all the time (prime lens
too). To be fair though, 99% of that is because I go to extraordinary
effort to be extremely lazy. 0.9% would be because I hate making
decisions (so that way I have just the one before I leave). 0.1%
because the restriction helps me take photos and improve by giving me
[insert-word-that-means-"focus"-but-without-the-pun-baggage]. I never
regret it, because regretting things you don't have is a futility I'd
rather exercise by taking "what-if"s to their worst ends and by
worrying on daydreams like a black dog on a jawbone. ;)

Cheers,
Marc
