Things that make me Happy 

Remembering my son’s face when he was born, looking out at the world quizzically.


My wife’s smile and eyes which can light up my life and any room she is in. Her laugh.


My father who became a better man at the end. 


Climbing a 100 foot wall and at the top letting go knowing my son was belaying me.


My son playing soccer and then hockey, karate and other sports, with gusto.


My son and my new daughter in law at the wedding. My daughter in law helping me.


Visiting my Uncle and Aunt in Florida and my uncle pulling a fast one on his wife.


Flying in biplanes with David A. - the feeling of freedom. Sail planing.


Driving my Celica 2000 at speed, leaving some expensive cars on the highway in the dust.


Making my clients happy (sometimes) ; some of them became great friends.


Having friends who helped me out of a tight spot.


Making women laugh and smile. Making them happy.


My huskies, all the time. Love in their eyes. 


Traveling to new places.


Making love.
