What I Love

1. When Bob Dylan plays the harmonica, especially on the album Blood on the Tracks, particularly the end of the song You're a Big Girl Now
2. First two and last two lines of novels: "Yes, of course, if it's fine tomorrow," said Mrs. Ramsay. "But you'll have to be up with the lark," she added. / It was done; it was finished. Yes, she thought, laying down her brush in extreme fatigue, I have had my vision.
3. Cheese, baguette, olives, dark chocolate
4. The taste of bourbon the heat as it goes down
5. Your dark eyes, full-on then closed, kissing them on tiptoe
6. Lying awake in bed in the morning, just after dawn
7. Banter
8. My neighbors, particularly those that share antipathy toward the McMansion developers and send me funny texts
9. The opening scene of Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire and Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita
10. The perfection of both lyrics and melody of Joni Mitchell's Both Sides Now
