1. A Montreal Expos paper coaster. Created/drawn by my daughter several years ago for a birthday, it is one of my favorite birthday gifts ever received and it sits proudly in the workstation area, below the right-side monitor. It sits with 2 other similar coasters which will be explained in another post.

2. The iPad. Though the office has 3 monitors already, the iPad serves its own purpose by providing entertainment and softball streaming when the kid is playing and I can't be there. It handles Neftlix, Disney+, AppleTV, GameChanger, audio books and Spotify. It allows me the freedom to work on my 3 monitors without worrying about moving the entertainment from screen to screen.

3. Texas Roadhouse Peanuts. As a Canadian, I hadn't been to this restaurant until we discovered it last year. Our first experience in Albany was tremendous. The bread, the steak, the music, the ambiance. It was an experience. We have been trying to recreate that initial experience throughout our travels over the last year but have not been able to replicate so it seems like a hit or miss franchise. Albany was memorable though.

4. Classic American Whiskey from the Cooperstown Distillery. I purchased this in Cooperstown when I visited the Hall of Fame last year for the first time in my life. A memorable day where I purchased some baseball cards on main street along with this whiskey which comes in a bottle shaped like a baseball. Its the only whiskey that sits on my desk because of its pleasant wooden container. A picture of a baseball hitter staring at the pitcher is on the slide-up front panel.

5. A baseball in a cube container given to me by wife on one of my first birthdays while we were a couple. She wrote on the ball "You're my favorite pastime". It sits on a shelf overlooking the workstation.
