Saturday Six

1. Other than your computer or anything connected to it, what object is closest to you now?

I'm in my usual nest on the sofa: there's a blanket next to me (in case my feet get cold), and two books and a box of Kleenex under it, while on the other side there is the table with a can of pop and a glass and some other random stuff including writing utensils and paper.

2. Extend your right arm all the way to the side: what object is your hand closest to at that moment?

Sparky's packing list for college is the first thing I touched.

3. Same exercise with your left arm: what object is your left hand closest to at that moment?

The rocking chair.

4. What book is closest to you now?

Guide to the Vatican Museums and City; and We Are Not Amused : A Royal Miscellany.

5. Other than your computer, what electronic gadget is closest to you now?

I think my MP3 player is on the lower shelf of the table somewhere ... otherwise it's the lamp behind me or Sparky's laptop.

6. And now, an old-school writing question: how many pencils and pens are within reaching distance of you right this minute?

Two pens and a pencil. I'd be willing to bet that Sparky has a pen in his pocket, and since he's sitting at the other end of the couch, it's probably (technically) within reach too.
