...But I Got It Back!
- Raking leaves
- Half a grapefruit, cut in its skin, served for breakfast in a bowl that barely fits it
- When I'm playing in a park before sunset on a big field and the sun is in my eyes and I know I should head home but I'm having too much fun
- The sound of my own laugh when someone tells me an off-color joke
- Cashews, esp. when I crunch a handful
- Waiting for a roast turkey or barbequed steak to sit before it's time to carve or slice it
- The smell of an automobile showroom
- Coffee in styrofoam
- Carrying around thick cash in my pocket
- Thinking that my Vancouver doctor is getting kickbacks from a small company in Quebec that sells fiber packets to help my cholesterol. He probably isn't. But my Dad would think so.
- Going through Customs
- Pouring butter over Jiffy Pop popcorn. Also, the theme song to "Have Gun, Will Travel"
- When someone in a store sticks to a stupid policy and I argue with them until they clearly realize that the policy is pointless, but they're too far in to back down, so don't buy anything but just leave, and walk away quickly shaking my head.
- Waylon and Willie singing together
- Landing a really big new client
- When the announcers on Canadian hockey start talking about the attendence count at that night's game
- Me.
