Some of the little things on my desk:

• A baseball from a Blue Jays game in the 1990s that was given to me as a kid at the SkyDome.
• An odd Knick-knack one of my oldest friends gave me when we were teenagers.
• No. 43/264 of the 2014 Laird of Fintry single malt whiskey made by Okanagan Spirits. No. 41 went to the Mayor of Kelowna and 42 to the B.C. premier.
• A spike from the railroad leading to Walden North, a nuclear fallout shelter near Lillooet.
