Full Panoply

Since January 1, I have been keeping a list of things that I have at some moment regretted that I had not been carrying on my person:

palm pilot, cellphone, ipod, sweater, raincoat, laptop, laptop charger, extra battery, laptop bag, readings for next week's course meetings, articles to comment on, articles I should have read six months ago, students' dissertation chapters I should have read last week, sportcoat (when more formality was called for), tie (which much more formality was called for), paperback (to read while waiting), swiss army knife, extra incandescent lightbulb, dog treats, pruning shears, plastic bags (for when dog defecates in an inappropriate place), extra dog leash (don't laugh), dog-drying towel, loung key, fax room key, office key, house key, car key, dress shoes, hiking boots, sneakers, water bottle, pants with more pockets, shirt with more pockets...

Far as I know, there's no such animal as a half panoply.
