So we have now been here at Holy Name Catholic Church for about a month, and none of the swept off my feet luster has worn off yet. This is still the nicest space TCASK has been in in at least the last several years, and, with it's convenient location just across the river from down town and the capitol and only a few blocks from some good food and coffee at five points, we couldn't be at a better spot in the city.

And did I mention that this is a real office? You see, for the last year or so, TCASK has been housed in a house over in West Nashville. Now, as I think my first paragraph made clear, we love the move, but we have lost a few things in making the change, and we thought we'd take this opportunity to throw ourselves on the mercy of the blog reading public, see if anyone really is reading out there, and see if y'all can help us out. So here goes.

To begin with, I'm a New Yorker, which means that the day does not begin until I've had my toasted bagel (in my case with peanut butter and hot sauce, but we don't need to get into that). Of course, to have my bagel, we need a TOASTER! Who would have thought?

Second, especially around executions, keeping an eye on press coverage is a very important part of what we do, as is viewing videos from around the country to assess their utility as organizing tools, but of course, for this, we need a TV, preferably with a VCR until attached.

And houses are bigger than our office, which means that, for us, storage space is at a premium. We've made, if I do say so myself, pretty excellent use of our one closet and current bookshelves, but we need at least one more bookshelf to house all of our materials.

And lastly, our phones. Now there's no difference between our old office and our new in relation to the phones, but the phones are two years older than they were when we moved into our last space. Consequently, our cordless phones are holdig their charge for shorter times. What we really need, for those long conversations, is a back up cord phone, which doesn't need a charge.

One phone change that has been made is that we now have two phone lines (one of which the fax also operates) so eventually we need a two-line phone system to really make us happy.

So, now that I'm done with my little wish list, if anyone has any of the above items and would like to make an in-kind donation to a charitable organization (that's us if that wasn't clear), give us a call at (615) 256-3906 and let us know. We'll be more than glad to take any of the above items off your hands.

And, I promise, bagels help me git er done!
