#0What 3 Items Would You Take?
Posted: 2/18/05 at 10:32am

There was a weekly radio show a while back in NYC where the host would begin each show by asking a celebrity guest a simple question: what eight (or so) items would you take with you to a remote location for an extended time? "It's a way of discovering fascinating sides of well-known persons and personalities, facets of their life and work and creative process which we might never otherwise see."

I'd like to pose a similar question to any BWW members who care to participate.

What 3 items would you want to take with you to a deserted island? For arguments's sake, let's say a 3-month stay, and assume that there will be ample food, water, and fire, but no electricity. And you can't bring another person along with you.


There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. - Nelson Mandela

A journal, to keep track of my thoughts.
The Bible to renew my spirit.
A good bottle of wine.


"All I ask of you is one thing: please don't be cynical. I hate cynicism -- it's my least favorite quality and it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." Conan O'Brien

Is it three things, as in items?

Books
CDS
CD Player


"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

a sheaf of paper
a box of pens
a Joseph Fiennes inflatable love doll.

[And these intangibles: a sense of humor, a sense of irony, curiosity, and my imagination.]

In this case I used the word 'sheaf' to mean a hell of a lot.

1. A copy of Les Miserables - It's one of my favorite books, and it's long enough to keep me occupied for awhile!
2. My dream journal (I have this compulsive need to write down my dreams every morning when I wake up).
3. Shampoo (I can't stand having dirty hair...)

What, I couldn't bring my girlfriend? I might as well jump naked in the water and then cut my leg so the sharks would be attracted to me.

2) a universal solar charger
