Purring cats. Waking up in the middle of the night happy and content and realizing you get to sleep for several more hours before you have to get up. Curling up in a comfy chair in a warm house on a rainy day, reading. Writing fiction. A new book from a favorite author. Honorable mention: World of Warcraft. 🙂 ---

Avocadoes. Especially avocado/cream cheese dip. With thick Hawaiian style chips. Which can be eaten while sitting by a fire in a bathrobe. Reading Sandman. (I’d add the purring cat, but he won’t come into the front room any more, because one of the dogs is a wrestling idiot.) ---
