What's on your desk right now??
It's early in the morning in Northeastern Ohio right now, getting close to what my youngest son likes to call "the butt-crack of dawn" as I wait for him to get here, we're headed to the woods to do some Turkey scouting. Good leisure time ahead.
I looked down at my desk-top and was struck by the thought that it's pretty clean, unusual for me and probably for most of you, too. Without pictures unless you can't resist I thought we'd have fun telling what clutters our "work space" right now. For me it's a few things: "The U.S. Mint and Coinage" by Don Taxay, two recently acquired medal(Eglit-37/Bronze and 1904 H-30-90 Louisiana Purchase Grand Prize), an NGC "insert" I need to send to someone, my cordless phone, a cup of coffee and a $100 bill I need to get change for.

cordless phone, Sweet, but I already knew you were old school.

Which desk? My work desk has my work computer, keyboard, mouse, stand, monitor, several books, and a couple of notes. My other desk has my personal computer, drives, some notes, calendar, keyboard, and trackpad. My third “desk” has my camera equipment and copystand.

I'm an amateur radio guy and have always enjoyed transistor electronics. My Grundig Satellit 650 receiver had a problem with it's audio amplifier. So, I've been working on that and I think I have it beat......

You asked!
Doctor bills, hospital bills, chemo drugs, anti-nausea drugs and lovenex injectors.
The last 17 months have been hell for my wife.
Collectibles pale in comparison to watching a horrendous illness take a vital and active person and reduce them to a mere shadow of their former self. Without a wonderful employer and good insurance, I'd be living in one of those tent cities under an overpass or worse.
Tell your loved ones how you feel about them everytime you have the chance, because you never know when that chance might be your last one.

Well that was a short contest....
LanLord, hope you're making great progress through all of this. Maneuvering the bills alone is a full time job. I hope you are on the rebound and feeling better.

my son had a merit badge for boy scouts a week or two ago; My son's "first coin" a PF67 Ultra Cameo 1983 Cook Is $1 from Mad Marty, and a 2006-S PCGS MS69 San Francisco Old Mint $5 coin. I don't keep coins on my desk but had those out for my son's review with his merit badge adviser.
