These Are a Few of My Favorite Things

So my better half challenged me to make a list of things that make me happy. Wow, where to begin? I would probably have to make a summer and a winter list... But for now here is my top two dozen-ish favorite things, in no particular order.

• Sunny days (everything’s A-okay)
• Listening to Vin Scully call a Dodgers game on the radio
• Sitting on the couch and talking with Samantha
• Going to see one of my favorite bands at a small club and they play that one song I REALLY want to hear
• Going to the beach in the summertime
• Eating those incredible dinners that Samantha makes me
• Going to conventions and assemblies
• Finding a really awesome deal on something (Paris tickets for $470!)
• Walking into work and realizing that after two years I still enjoy my job
• Eating dinner outside
• Watching an old movie
• Making pizza (Chicago-style deep dish)
• Finding that perfect chord, riff or phrase when I’m writing a song
• Waking up and realizing that it’s way earlier that I thought
• Chasing Miles around the front yard
• Getting together with old friends and laughing about old times
• Finding a really great hole-in-the-wall joint

That's all for now... Stay tuned for pictures of us doing some of these things!
