Photo by Pat Bertram

looks well used!!

Okay, now we're peering deep into your mind...yes, it's all becoming clear. Few in the way of distractions. The desk can actually be seen in places. Laptop elevated by...newspapers? WIP. Card file. Geisha girl painting. Too late now, we know all, Ms. Bertram.

Sigh.  My cats would pee on it.  I miss having  desk...

It's a folding table and the center break is higher than the rest, so the newspapers are to balance the poor computer. A camera usually sits next to the card file, but I was using it to take the photo.

You can't see it, Ken, but what's on the computer screen is the Wombat thread with your challenge.

what no post em, than it isn't that bad!lol

This is so neat and orderly compared to mine!

A very neat desk compared to mine. *sigh

hahahahah..unedited...

You're like me,. you like pretty things to look out when you're on the puter or at  your desk.

I see a certain Glenn Wilson book on that table...

Is that an advanced copy of Daughter Am I on the left corner?

Yes, it is. Isn't it a gorgeous cover?

Pat, this looks like a productive office area, with the PC taking center stage.   And of course, books. 

Pat, I didn't have a 'real' desk until we moved into this house. Go make-shift desk!

As I suspected. You're neat and orderly. This just deepens the shame of my messy desk. sob!

How do  you keep it so neat?

The secret to a neat desk? Wait until it's so smothered in notes and other miscellaneous bits of paper that you can't stand it another minute, then clean it. It just so happens that I straightened it last week, and it hasn't started growing molds and messes yet.

Relatively clean - I am impressed.

Pat, notice what a popular photo this turned out to be? Here's how I take it: there are many curious about your inner machine and the way you work. Flattered by the attention? I should hope you is.

[SIC]

Flattered? Bewildered is more like it.

Ah, so now I can picture you when we chat. Love the bright photo of the parrot. :-)

And that is Steel Waters!
