For no real reason ... except, of course, if it's true that the contents of a woman's bag say something about her state of mind.

Sounds like the late Douglas Adams has channelled into your mind about what to carry with you throughout your day, like Arthur Dent in "Hitchhiker's". Hey, there's a precedent at work here: President Obama returned to Cambridge to pay off all his tickets while at the Harvard Law School, so you have time.
i have said New Yorker next to my bed.
@Justin - congrats on your fine taste.
@Squikato - by writing this comment I'm actually procrastinating the completion of an an appeal letter to CofB as to my current outstandings -- all of which I considered BS and that is why they are outstanding. Wish me luck.
@Karin-Yes, indeed, good luck with the C of B.
Given my limited reading time, I deduced years ago that I might subscribe to either "The Economist" or "The New Yorker". Chose the former; yet, I still skim my library's copy weekly, especially the fiction and, of course, the cartoons.
