    Here are a few of the the little everday pleasures that make me happy:

    Riding bikes with son Sinbad

    Taking walks with daughter Xena

    Wrestling with my two children, even though they always win.

    Walking about my garden

    Dancing with my lovely wife, the Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess

    Finishing a wood working project

    Sushi

    Driving nowhere in particular with the top down in my Mustang

    Getting a phone call from an old friend

    The smell of baking bread

    Starting a new book

    Knowing that I still remember all the lines to "Address to a Haggis"

    Making supper for my family

    A Gin and Tonic with fresh lime

    Cheers

    Here is my little list:

    1. Riding the motorcycle on a back road with no traffic.

    2. Seeing Elizabeth Jane my niece.

    3. A nice hot Earl Grey tea on a cold day.

    4. The smell of hay in a horse barn.

    5. Anything from Revolver or Rubber Soul by the Beatles.

    Thats what I can think of for now.

    1) Sitting on the front porch in the evening having a scotch and cigar with my wife.

    2)Sleeping with the window wide open in the spring.

    3)Watching a brook trout dance on the end of your line after having sipped in a dry fly.

    4)Seeing my English Setter stylishly point a Ruffed Grouse.

    5)An evening in grouse camp with good friends.

    6)Any time spent with my wife at an onsen in Japan.

    7)A really good bowl of ramen, preferably tonkotsu ramen.

    8)Being first due, and having the pipe at a really good fire. ( you'd need to be a jake to understand this.)

    Opening the back door in the early morning to the smell of irises and the sight of a hummingbird hovering at eye level.

    "Mommy's home! Mommy's home!"

    Walking in the woods at 6 am with the dog and seeing a deer, a flock of wild turkeys and several rabbits.

    Chocolate

    Silence

    Examining litters of puppies

    Being handed a cocktail by the man I love, who is wearing an apron and a kilt, as he says, "Hi honey! How was your day? We're having seared Ahi tuna for dinner."

    Other moments with the man I love.

    Be well,

    I like sitting on the patio on cool evenings, eatin' Spitz. I just like the cool air and hearing the sounds of my trashy little neighborhood.
