Stranded on a Desert Island...
Assuming food, water and shelter are all accounted for, the eternal question of "what would you bring on a desert island?" is always a fun one to ponder. Music is a necessity and other than strumming a guitar, reading books on a peaceful beach is a wonderful way to pass the time.
