    2. Le Creuset 7 1/4 quart round French Oven
    3. FloJo’s Flip Flops (5 years running, or is it 6?)
    4. A DVD of the film Grosse Pointe Blank
    5. Paul Simon’s “Graceland” on CD – shortly after I turned 12 years old. Still one of my favorite albums of all time.

  3. 1. ipod
    2. powerbook
    3. rainbow flip flops

    Serendipity as in the film with Cusack/Beckinsale? Hmm, I dismissed that movie as a cheesy rom/com, but if you like it maybe I’ll give it a rent. Maybe. It looks very Nora Ephron.
