Cancel the papers. Close your PO box. Donation of records and clothes to the goodwill. Few boxes of old novels to the local library. Bag of rice in the tank of Sigall Hasterson's car. Few cups of coffee and a plate of scrambled eggs with bacon at the local diner. Visit to the bank to make sure your accounts are in order. Visit to the state-appointed psychatrist to get your booklet stamped. Le Carré's "A Perfect Spy" for reading on the trip. Bag of gummy bears. Pair of sunglasses. China buffet fortune cookie.
All those little things that one needs to do before they skip town on assignment.
