I intend this page to be a work in progress, adding new items to the list over time. If for some reason I decide to remove something from the list I will strike-out it like this instead of simply deleting the item.
• The number 16
• Walking barefoot through freshly mowed grass
• The sound of children laughing
• Friendly dogs
• A single, cold Hoegaarden beer on a hot Summer day
• The color orange (my new favorite color for about three years now)
• Pie with a good ratio of crust to filling
• Beethoven and Bach (but not Brahms)
• Holding hands
• Paintings of nautical/maritime scenes
• The poetry of Pablo Neruda
• Victoria, Rose, Phoebe, Magdalena as possible girl names
• Ian, Francis, Desmond as possible boy names
(It is highly unlikely I am ever going to have kids of my own but
I have been lucky enough to be Crazy Uncle Dennis for my three
biological nieces and to the sons and daughters of several friends)
• The whistling sound of boiling water in a tea-kettle
• wool scarves, hats, and mittens
• wearing corduroy pants in the winter-time
• Houses with radiator heat instead of forced-air heat
• Prevost and van Hool tour buses
(The tall narrow kind that are just now starting to become common-place in the United States.)
• The sound of ringing church bells
