If Your House Caught Fire, what are the First 3 Things You'd Grab On Your Way Out?

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Assuming my daughter is already safely out of the house, I'd first grab the bright red Important Papers folder at the front of the file box in my office.

Exiting the office, I'd pause at the bookcase and liberate a hardcover copy of The Soulforge by Margaret Weis (a book that's always the first thing I pack when I move house, and which has made the jump with me 3 times since I bought it in 1998).

Finally, at the bottom of the staircase by the front door, I'd grab the knapsack where I keep my main clarinet Clara III.

I have a fire-proof safe. One less thing to worry about.
