As things have slowed down a little with Holiday activities, I set up my laptop on my mother’s kitchen table. The checked tablecloth did not play well with my mouse, so I went in search of something black that was big enough to serve as a mouse pad.
On the shelf behind me, the first possibility I saw was a Bible. I thought about how perfect it would be as a mouse pad, but its use felt somewhat sacrilegious. Most of the other books were too big or did not have a solid color area. I continued my search in an adjoining room, only to find the best mouse pad alternative in there was the back of a Cumberland Presbyterian Confession of Faith. This is probably also inappropriate, but I don't feel quite as guilty and it works great. I have read it if that helps with your judgment of my actions.
