1. God
2. A trip to the World War II museum with Cassie and David
3. There was a charming youth (maybe 9 or so) who followed us around spouting facts and wanting to engage us in conversation. I need to get away from that kid, David told me, he reminds me of me at that age. Your comeuppance, I told him, I was the same way. The unfettered delight in knowledge.
4. Walking dogs and talking about dogs and dogs running and playing
5. The warmth of a cat lying on top of me.
6. Cassie making photograph calendars
7. Alan strung green lights along part of our fence.
