The stack to the left represents some children’s books for the boy; the center stack, which I will not enumerate here, includes the aforementioned magazines, craft books, and home improvement materials I’ve reclaimed. Since they’ve been mine since the early part of the century when I was an eBay seller, I’m not trying to convince you they’re new. They haven’t been in the household for a couple of years, though.<\/p>\n

- The Path of Vision<\/i> by Bessie Mona Lasky, a collection of musings and paintings given to me by the same woman.\n<\/li>\n

- A pair of Nat King Cole audiocassettes.\n<\/li>\n
- A pair of noir films, The Big Combo<\/i> and Raw Deal<\/i> (not the Schwarzeneggar film).\n<\/li>\n
- A Cary Grant three pack on VHS, including His Girl Friday<\/i>, Charade<\/i>, and Penny Serenade<\/i>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
