• Long-boarding at Doheney.
• Watching young parents teach their tiny children how to surf, and watching the kids' joy in their success.
• Making a veritable hodgepodge of dinner together.
  
• Surf films.
• Your lips.
• The Norton Anthology of poetry, the seventh, two-volume edition -- mine for the taking, because you've finished reading it.
• Little yogurt stores.
• Being able to curse, loudly, at work, in front of all aspects of management.
• Your text messages.
• Street fair in Orange this weekend.
• A VIP tour on Saturday that should cover my credit card bill for the month.
  
• Making others' 'someday's' your tomorrow.
• The Mountain Goats' 'All Hail West Texas.'
