Joseph put up a new cork board for me behind the desk, and fixed the problem of the collapsing art lamp--the clamp was VERY poorly designed pot metal, and it actually bent. He just drilled a hole right in the desk and the lamp fits snugly in it. So far no collapses!
And then of course where do I work? On the camp chair out in the alley, so I can get a good view of the endless yard sale...
