Things I Like

In accordance to the commands set forth by the ruler of MurphWorld, I'm going to list some, not all, things I like. Omissions include family and friends because they're just too obvious. There is no fancy introduction or anticipatory prologue to this list.

Here goes (in no particular order):

1. Dunkin Donuts Coffee
2. Inappropriate statements that don't cross the line but make people uncomfortable (especially ones from my two year-old daughter)
3. Facebook
4. Baseball
5. Playoff baseball (there is a difference)
6. Pepperoni Pizza
7. Buffalo chicken anything
8. A River Runs Through It
9. Cold weather
10. Skiing
11. Copenhagen (not the city)
12. Switzerland
13. Books that make me feel like I'm not reading
14. Movie theater popcorn with gobs of butter
15. Fountain Coke
16. Hoosier anything
17. Corn fields
18. Friday night high school football
19. the crack of a baseball off a wood bat
20. Netflix
21. Loitering in bookstores
22. Making bets
23. Being right
24. Writing freehand with a nice pen (from my thoughtful Wife)
25. Cold water when it's hot outside
26. Stinky Cheese
27. Gladiator
28. Grilling
29. Steak that's slightly pink
30. Scenery
31. Quiet
32. Camping
33. Fires
34. Straight lines
35. t-shirt and jeans
36. My car
37. Traveling
38. Bread & butter
39. Cold beer
40. Good wine
41. Sweating
42. Being caught up
43. Overcast mornings with nothing to do
44. Trying on sunglasses

  1. #2 is funny~my family is king of inappropriate (and they are so fun!)
    I so love fountain Coke. I crave it. I wish I could drink it every day. But I don't, because it is so bad for you. So maybe once or twice a week.

  2. Oh yeah, I love Facebook too. Because I love photographs and I get to see everyones! And I can see the every day life of my and my husband's cousins/family that are on there frequently.

  4. Yes, Anita, this list kicks major ass. He nailed like fifteen things that should have been on my list.

    Specifically: 14, 18, 19, 28, 31, 33, 34, 38 (although I've developed an affinity for oil), 42, 43, 45, 46, 47!, 49.

    And I learned something I didn't expect: Copenhagen and gambling, eh? Guess it's true what they say about preachers' kids.

  5. This is funny. Several of us have followed PMP's lead. I just posted my likes, too! I'm with you on Dunkin coffee and good wine. Amen, brother!

  7. Kelly - yeah on fountain Coke, wish it was good for you. Facebook is one of the most elaborate "inventions" of our time. Along with the internet first of course. "Invention" can't be the right word.

    Anita - Paste away.

    PMM - Most of the gambling is done with my wife. And the Copenhagen thing, well, I grew up in rural Indiana and bailed a lot of hay and shoveled a lot of crap. Even caught baby pigs by the hind legs so they could get their ears clipped. Also wiped the snot off cow noses so vets could print their noses with ink. Yes, it's like a fingerprint! Copenhagen stood by me through all those smelly, memorable times. Now, I miss the farm.

    Amy - heading to your list.

  8. I'm so impressed that you have time to blog, write, teach, parent, facebook(is that a verb?)and float. I hope you get time to float.

  9. Tina - Time? Ha! I don't know how it all happens. Shouldn't there be 36 hours in a day?

    Float time is nice. Wish I owned a body of water to make that happen more often. And now I can't even go to Murph's house because his pool is no longer.
