Toys for a modern day physician at home

What does a doctor do if he ever gets the moment to turn off the clinical acumen and put on a baby hat that takes him or her back to childhood.  You better do it I say.  You need it.  Do it.  Listen well.
I have a number of toys I have amassed over the years.  Granted I am not in clinical practice and can play around with my moments of living sometimes.  I have a large 1.25 inch or so marble on my night stand.  Its fun to hold in my hand and roll around. Just the right size.  I use it and it makes me introspective. 
I decided to start a small regular sized marble collection this past year. I have about 200 or so many marbles that I've purchased.  Cost a bit. Don't tell me I "don't have my marbles" or that I've lost too many.  I have 200 or more.   They are fun, but I report I rarely visit the collection.  I have some silly putty.  Its a great invention.  I leave my one 1 dollar dallop of putty at my bedside where it usually stays on the night table.  I put my 1.25 inch marble in it and it stays in place.  I like to play with silly putty once in a while.  Builds dexterity and agility.  As a fellow once intersted in a surgical career, I assure you its an excellent toy.
Most enjoyed today may be my 2 marble kaleidoscopes.  One I keep by the computer now and its a green 4 inch long marble kaleidoscope that turns really well.  I just play with it in the light of the computer monitor especially when I am waiting for somthing to finish or somthing of the like. Once a day or so now.  I have a white grey egg shaped marble kaleidoscope on my night stand. Looks good. Very fancy image.  It doesnt turn as well as my straight green one.  But its still interesting.  I like the look of the kaleidoscope images.  They mesmorize my eyes.  I must tell you that I had a eureka moment.  Take this one or leave it and call me a fool.  I am obviously a beatles fan.  The song Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds has baffled the world.  I must say that a girl with kaleidoscope eyes is very curious, but could you imagine a girl has eyes that turn like a kaliedoscope and have 6 sides of mirrored bright see thru objects?  I just cant.  I dont think shes on drugs. I think she does not exist.  This was my eureka, though.  I say this. The one who has kaleidoscope eyes is God.  He is not a she. But she is a he of course.  God does have a feminine personna side as well it is considered. So consider this.... Maybe that song is about the Creator of the Universe.  Farfetched?  I don't know, but I can get used to knowing that God has eyes that are as mesmerizing as a kaleidoscope.  Imagine.
