Oh, I forgot, and the manuscript I ought to be revising at the moment.
Copy of Shotgun News, Arkansas topographic atlas, Blind Faith CD, some Outers Score Keeper targets, and a phone book.

from left to right;
ruler, envelop, calculator on top of note pad, speaker, notebook , monitor, stapler, two pens, speaker, calendar and a day planner.
Sounds all neat and organized doesn't it? If you look at the stand attached to the desk, it is a mess of papers, bills, pens and junk. It drives me nuts because it isn't all mine (but a lot of it is).
If you really want to know about a person's life, don't look at the top of the desk, look in the drawers. The desk is what we show the world, but our true lives are in the drawer.
