Five Things in a Box

This is a game someone whose fiction I used to read would play. Say you're meeting me for the first time. A week before we meet in person, you send me a box with five things in it, to see, or touch, or smell, or taste, to tell me everything about you. The box can be as large or as small as you like, but it must contain five things and five things only.

What's in the box?

A.

Oh yeah! Who couldn't love Grandma Mazur and poor Mom with her irorning and wine in the cupboard? The point I would be making, though, is that I devour books for entertainment. The heavy duty stuff I get from the news.

"A" bookcase is one thing. So what if it's crammed with books, it's still just one thing...
