being in a foreign county.

Mushroom pizza

when the nighttime clouds are thick enough to reflect the orange city lights back down to the ground

...but thin enough to let the full moon shine through bright & clear.

being a pedestrian on a foggy morning in the city.

Cold, crisp winter air

...when I'm appropriately dressed for it

supporting local artists.

the Green Bay Packers are a publicly owned NFL team.

the 1980 studio recording of 'Sun is Shining' by Bob Marley

waterproof shoes

(Keen Alamosa hiking shoes from REI)

Lou Rawls' voice

staying in a hotel.

women with beautiful smiles

747 jets climbing away from SeaTac airport over my neighborhood

my brother

Alaskan Winter Ale

my truck Dan

...the unstoppable chevy S-10.

Venezuelan baseball in the winter.

Running into people I know in the big city.

When J falls asleep while I'm reading bedtime stories.

Dark, quiet morning walks in the morning before daylight savings time kicks in.

hugs

Having great energy in the morning without drinking coffee

bosc pears

long hot showers at any time of day.

Being in a room full of creative people.

Listening to reggae music in the sun

chatting with neighbors on the back stairwell of my building

...at night, when it is beautiful outside.

feeling sunlight on my skin

The color of the clear night sky about 45min after sunset.

The view of the Seattle skyline from my building's back stairwell.

Walking down the sidewalk in the same shoes I wear walking across rivers and forests.

The smell of onions on the grill at baseball games.

Walking in the street at night in the city.

My old fisherman hat.

Also my new fisherman hat!
