Let’s see, I got: a catalogue, 3 CD’s, memo pad, half a sheet off a legal pad, a dictionary, broken pencil and a glass of orange juice. I bought the whole set that way, saw it in the computer store window and just had to have it.😃 ---

I got a shark on a bendy stick\*, with gOOgley eyes, wearing a lifebelt. It’s not anatomically correct. It has the wrong number of gill-slits. And the monitor’s a Dell. \*used to be a pen, but the pen bit’s gone. ---

I have a Happy Monk ™ [http://www.johnbalint.com/specials.html](http://www.johnbalint.com/specials.html) A tiny Pig Squeekie Toy, and a 2.5 oz (64g) glass bottle of ketchup. Naturally the pig and the ketchup are next to another, for obvious reasons. My PC is a dell also, and the pig is owned by the “Farmer in the Dell”. \ ---

I have either a small black cat or a large grey one on my monitor (I’m not at home right now so I don’t know which one it is, but it’s not supper time, so one of them will be there for sure, as it’s the warmest spot in the house, even better than the bathroom heat vent). ---
