Let’s see…
Ice Cold Coke in a 44oz cup.
Good Music in the Van.
68 degrees, light breeze, sunglasses, and driving and enjoying the scenery
Time to snuggle and give the wife a serious earthshaking kiss.
Weirding out the kids with earshattering rap fetishes with Def Leppard or Iron Maiden loud. (Did this… the strange looks I got still make me smile years later.)
Hearing a set of Polk SDA 1.5’s ($3000 in '91) with “Only” 700 watts of Amplifier power. Drum solos that loud can inspire heart attacks.
Oh, and the best for all of us who drive in town a lot: Catching all the green lights.
When gas unexpectedly gets cheaper
Walks in the evening
Getting an unexpected A on your report card
Couches with giant cushions
Freash strawberries
Fresh vegetables from the garden (especcialy pees)
Mashed potatoes.
The sun after a storm
Seeing Venus on a clear night
You meant LAP, didn’t you? 
Going to dinner at your favorite romantic restaurant with someone you love dearly, and feeling like you are the only two people in the world.
Having your first kiss with the girl you love on a beautiful night on the beach. Oh, and Dave Matthews. 
A full tank of gas, free time and all the open road in the world.
Freshly cleaned laundry, sun-made iced tea, cuddling with the cat, looking at the stars, being able to think for yourself, being able to be yourself, um, can’t think of anymore for the moment.

The way someone you love smells.
People laughing (not just to be polite) when you say something (intentionally) funny.
Getting drunk with the right people.
Getting so caught up in what you’re doing you forget everything else.
My pond.
The sky over my pond.
Too many books and song to mention (Gravity’s Rainbow and Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” and the Meat Puppet’s “Creator”
at the moment. Oh and the Pixies’ “Where is my Mind”. And Quitting the Narobi Trio by Jim Knipfel.)
I would also like to concur with the favoable opinions expressed regarding clean cloths and cats.
And particularly mention Medea’s Child’s
“Saying something deep and odd and knowing the person you said it too understands.”
That’s a good one. That’s a very good one.
Funny about this topic, I realized something just today.
I was driving across one of the bridges from downtown Vancouver towards my apartment. It was only the third nice day so far this year, the sun was just setting, I had the top down on my car and I happened to have a nice CD in the player… I realized just as I was reaching the crest of the bridge, that dispite every setback, every frustrating 14 hour work day, every irritating thing that has happened in the last week, I’m happy. I didn’t stop smiling to myself until I got home.
Sorry for not following the format, but some things need a little explaining.

The third day of a fast when the hunger’s gone away and you have that heightened awareness feeling that is so hard to describe
The wonder of arriving in a place you’ve never been on the first day of a vacation
That achy girl feeling I get in my belly when tiptoeing on the razor’s edge of arousal
Finding the phrase that perfectly expresses what I’m trying to say in a piece of writing
Clean sheets and towels
Poached eggs on toast
Being on a hike and finding an entirely new place
Getting to “take a bow”
Guilt-free sleep
Completing a something you’ve been working on for a long time: a novel, a degree, etc.
I also second: kissing someone who really knows how, the smell of rain, clean clothes, good socks, jeans that fit just right, smells that remind you of intimate moments with those you love, when a great song comes on the radio, road trips, good books, good chocolate, and waking up and realizing you can go back to sleep if you want.

Did I mention my kids?
My dog’s big brown eyes
Fresh strawberry shortcake
The smell of snow

The glow of candles
A pair of jeans that fits causing one to do the dance of joy all around the dressing room.
My son beaming with pride after an accomplishment, even if it’s only making his bed perfectly for the first time

Spring wind blowing across your bodies after a torrid session
The sun on my face…
Clean sheets from the line…
8:38 PM on a summer day…
Whenever the disk doesn’t pick up a rock for more than two hours at a stretch…
When I can make a kid smile… especially if he/she is mine…
When a good song comes on the radio and there’s not a stop sign in sight…
Quiet…
A quick, flirty smile exchanged with an absolute stranger…

Still having a sense of wonder at my ripe old age…
…and they don’t come much stranger, ya know…
