I am an information specialist who enjoys her work, but enjoys leaving it behind at the end of the day as well. I read and review books, help people find what they need, and dream of bookstores. \u2014\u00a0Geri Diorio<\/strong><\/p>\n

My bag is a\u00a0V1 Sling Backpack from Sipsey Wilder<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($50)<\/strong>, a small, women-owned, original design, vegan business in Alabama. It holds a surprisingly large amount of things in an organized way and never hurts my back. I love all their bags and own several.<\/p>\n

BIC Cristal Stic Ball Pen<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($15, 60pk)<\/strong>
\nI am never without a pen, specifically a Bic Cristal Stic in blue. While many people feel these pens are too skritchy, I find the haptic feedback of writing with one a feature, not a bug.<\/p>\n

Leatherman Squirt<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0($40)<\/strong>
\nThe little Leatherman Squirt was a gift years ago and it has proven to be so useful, practically every day. Sure Swiss Army knives are fine, but I find the addition of needle nose pliers to be game changing.<\/p>\n

Suprus rechargeable lighter<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(varies)<\/strong>
\nThis little arc lighter is very stealthy; it really looks like a USB memory stick. Although I am not a smoker, I find it comes in handy for candles, and makes a fun conversation starter. I am not certain that Suprus makes this specific USB rechargable lighter any more, but they make similar ones.<\/p>\n

Checkbook<\/strong>
\nAlthough it may seem to be completely anachronistic, I never travel without my checkbook. I was able to secure a place in pottery class at the local community center because they did not take credit cards but they do take checks! My hand-tooled leather checkbook cover is also an object I find beautiful to look at and touch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
