A Reese’s Fast Break candy bar. Climbing into a warm bed on a cool night. The bed has freshly laundered sheets and still smell fresh. Finding a diecast car I don’t already have. Waking up on Sunday morning, getting a buzz from the little hunk of bud my big brother gave me, having a pot full of Seattle’s Best Post Alley Blend in the coffee maker and reading the Sunday paper from front to back. Letting a smelly fart and no one thinks it came from me. ---

No way to list my top five out of all the thousands of things I love. These, however, are the first five that sprung to mind. Tomorrow my list would probably be completely different. Anyway: A carpet of crunchy leaves underfoot. The rants of Al Pacino, AKA The Devil Himself in _Devil’s Advocate_. Me, my wife, my daughter, and my dog all snuggled up together on the couch. Catching my breath as I walk around the lake in the morning after an early morning run. Halloween.
