My (Boston) Bedside Table

Oh dear. I hope other peoples' bedside tables are more interesting than mine. A phone which I never use, a charger for my iPhone (which is sitting in the kitchen of my other place in Connecticut right now, so the charger is somewhat irrelevant), a photograph of yours truly with The World's Most Adorable Grandson, a pile of books to be read, the all-important glasses to aid in said reading, my iPad, and the TV remote control left there from last night's grueling hours-long, tedious, tasteless Oscars production.

We have recently been revisiting the old comedy series 'Allo 'Allo! on DVD, and I was momentarily tempted to add a stalk of wet celery and an egg beater to my tableau, but thought it might be a bit abstruse.
