    Haha, no worries at all. The books, by the way, are a wide variety. Mostly fiction, but the back right corner contains all space related nonfiction and cookbooks. Back left is art and archaeology and cultural resource related nonfiction. One whole set of shelves is all of Stephen King's books. There is a travel section, a miscellaneous section, but that gives you a good idea of what is there.

    My lovely and talented wife made that for me. Here's a couple photos of it next to my old pen roll:

    Yea, and you wonder why you have me laughing all the time? And how do I make legalese easy to understand? I thought my answer to that was already duly incorporated by reference and duly noted. It is apparent that such a conclusion on my part lacked the well nigh irrefragable proof that you deem necessary and relevant for purposes of your own contemplation. But it is pretty easy. Trust me. After all, I am a licensed professional and they don't call it practicing law for naught. :sly:

    A Coati? That isn't very Australian. In fact I recognize it from living in Texas.
    I'm discovering vintage pens. Oh no!

    No other way to work these days, than with two monitors!! Nice orderly space there at work, but I love the creative space at home. Is this where InCoWriMoo was born? And the awesome penguin?

    Whoa! There is no way to beat that, except to get out of your way (pun intended, please take no offense). I think the pen wrap your wife made for you is really outstanding! (My favorite color, too.)

    Thank you, cwent2. It was a belated birthday present to myself after a small tornado took out the back side of my home (on the eve my birthday) a few years back and I had to have it repaired and refurnished.

    Agreed. I'd wanted a Captain's/Davenport for a long time, but the antiques like this are hard to come by. The "knockoffs" are way too expensive for the cheap imitations they are. I was fortunate to get this one, the price was right, and the antiques dealer - out of state - put it on a truck that was already headed to California, so it had to come right by me anyway and I didn't get charged an arm and two legs for freight. Since he did that for me, I picked up the chair from him, too.

    The dealer had - and still has - another Captain's/Davenport that is nice, but it doesn't have the detail of mine. Plus, the price is way over what I paid for mine. It is in pristine condition, though, whereas mine has a couple of flaws. I love mine, though. I keep checking back, even though I don't have any kind of discretionary income anymore, simply because I love his pieces. http://www.bargainjohn.com/product-category/furniture/
