Favorite things

Driftwood at Sunset on Lake Michigan

As promised so long ago, I will now list my favorite things. It has been awhile, so I guess alacrity doesn’t make the list. Neither does correctly using the word “alacrity”.

1. Smells: Pumpkin bread, clean baby, campfire, Spaghetti Sauce, rain, ocean, fresh brewed coffee, fresh bread at 5 am on Grand Avenue outside D’Amato’s
2. Places: The blue house, the bird sanctuary by Montrose Beach, the Southeast corner of Lake Michigan, The harbor off the island of Anegada, BVI,  Sorrento, Italy, Tintern Abbey, UK
3. People: The three of us and our friends and family
4. Music: Lately, I’ve been listening to Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Florence + Machine, Tool, The Smiths, Joy Division, REM, Talking Heads, Wilco, Billy Bragg, Fugazi, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Django Reinhardt, Oscar Peterson, Aimee Mann, Elliott Smith, and more that I just can’t remember.
5. Mode of transportation: Either Divvy Bikes or running
6. Sleeping position: Side
7. Toothbrush: Sonicare – no substitutes
8. Daughter: Constantly fluctuates back and forth between the two.
