    Other than a complete mess, and the usual coffee mug, Blackberry, and a calculator -

    A few inspirational items:

    - My letter of resignation to my Moneymart corporate boss, and Goethe's commitment quote. (Both in the same frame)

    - Many pictures of my daughter.

    - A plaque from my recent trip to Gettysburg depicting the Iron Brigade.

    All of these help keep me on my toes through out the day.
