The Desert Island Question - What would you take?

Ok so Cathy Zielske is the teacher of Me, The Abridged Version a scrapbooking class that I am taking online from Big Picture Scrapbooking... I'm not that hot into scrapbooking just now, I have a lot going on in my life, but the class I took from Cathy last spring was so much fun, that I decided to try another. It's the writing and self-discovery about her classes that I find so enjoyable. So, for this class she's emailing us a thought provoking (or fun) question each day to help us with writing about ourselves. Here is today's question:

Today's question: You are going to a desert island for the rest of your
days. Excluding people, what five things do you take and why?

I haven't done my writing for this yet... but this is my initial response:

• Pride and Prejudice - no scratch that I'd take my Kindle and load it up with all
  my favorite books, hurrah for technology!


• My Chef's Knife --- The whole of life runs more smoothly when you have a good knife in the kitchen.

Anybody wanna share what you'd take?

I'm back. I just keep looking with affection at this picture of my favorite knife. Seriously, I should name it. Any ideas of a good name for a kitchen knife?
