Yes, I say what, and not who. You’ll understand by the end of this post.

Hello from Memorial Library, by the way. There’s something about blogging from a desktop that is way more satisfying than a laptop or a phone. I should look into doing this more often.

I usually don’t take too long to get ready to go out. Unless it’s winter, and I need my Entourage. Simply put, my entourage is everything that I’d need for the day, and if I’m leaving anytime before noon, I need to make sure I have all of these things with me. Sometimes it requires multiple trips to the car. Most often, I end up not needing the majority of the items, but it’s good knowing that they’re with me, I guess. Here’s the lineup:

Entourage Checklist

• Wallet
• Phone
• Earbuds
• Keys
• Sunglasses
• Backpack (usually the majority of what’s listed below is in the backpack, if it fits)
• Notebook
• Journal
• Hebrew-English dictionary
• Translation pages
• Index cards
• Pens
• Pencils
• Crayons

• Scissors

When I roll, I roll deep.

I might be a pack rat.
