The card reads <I>Dear R, I love you. Every little thing is going to be ok, R.</I> A packet of chai tea. A photograph of me holding the Surfer as a toddler, a Leonardo Da Vinci notepad from Venice, a 22 inch computer monitor, 2 tiny speakers, a wireless modem and a $12 phone that doesn't work except it hooks me up to my DSL. I don't really have a desk. I have a small antique table also with a leaf on each side that stay closed and beautiful beveled legs.<BR/><BR/>rRadish Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534752971317927559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11779531.post-5224138229008424432009-01-27T10:36:00.000-08:002009-01-27T10:36:00.000-08:00Oh, yeah, it kinda is -- very long, because it has...Oh, yeah, it kinda is -- very long, because it has a leaf on each side that I keep out(open). But it's also in front of the window and a lot of what I enumerated is actually on the window sill. <BR/><BR/>I'm sure I'll get a lot more done at VCCA, even if the desk is smaller (three weeks until I go).<BR/><BR/>What's on your desk?
