1. My daughter's cute morning breath when she jumps on me to wake up...
2. Reading, period. Anything, even the advertisements. Pure adiction.
3. The History, Discovery, Bravo and A&E channels. I don't watch much TV, but when I do, it rarely gets out of that foursome.
4. Playing a new Les Paul electric guitar through a Dumble point to point soldered amp. Blissful...
5. Finding a hidden gem of a website, something totally unexpected that makes me go "wow"!
6. Re-connecting with my east-coast family as I have been doing for most of the years.
7. Writing,.. is there a better stress relief activity?
8. Inmersing myself in a few of my music programs and pretending that I really do write good stuff....
9. Photography,... the old fashioned way, film, 35mm, real lenses... kodachrome (slides, remember those?)
10. Being in love with the most amazing person a man could ever meet. Iris, I am the luckiest nerd in history to have you...

Th'ship definately needs an animal wrangler, but Lady Croft has been busy lately...;)
