Default What cards on your desk..what's on your iPOD and whatcha reading?

It occurred to me that we all have at least old cardboard in common...what else do you suppose?

How about some fun posting your quick replies to these questions:

What cards are on your desk :

E96 McQuillan which I need to put with my others and
41PB Ott that I recently got from BST (thanks Stefan)

What's on your iPOD :
I Just listened to some REM and David Gray (Sail Away!)

Whatcha reading:

Thomas Boswell's "Heart of the Order", a compilation book of some of the great baseball writer's work. Very insightful!

Have fun!

Default I'll Play

Right now I have a small stack of 1920's Exhibits, M101-6s and assorted 1930's premiums on my desk. I do not own an IPod but I have The Allman Brothers Live at The Fillmore East in the 8 track, make that CD player in my computer right now. Currently rereading Albert Goldman's, The Lives of John Lennon.

2. Grateful Dead - 7/15/71 Austin, TX (recent pick-up from Dead.net)
3. Resurrecting Candrakirti: Disputes in the Tibetan Creation of Prasangika (highly recommended - some of the best Indo-Tibetan intellectual history I have read in a while. )

2) All kinds of stuff, but Stereolab, Bjork and The Arcade Fire were the last three groups to play during yesterday's workout shuffle.

3) Andrew Sullivan's "Daily Dish" blog on The Atlantic's website.

DS Lopez #97 (Hi-#). Returned by SGC as "Counterfeit". Compared it to my Lopez #28 and, by golly, they were right.

2. Devin the Dude
3. Memoirs of a Cavalier by Defoe - been reading all of Defoe's stuff lately, Moll Flanders is his best imo...

It's a mess, but there are a dozen or so T210s, A Tyreke Evans auto, a Nice Lajoie throwing and a bunch of other worthless modern stuff.

No Ipod
