An incomplete list of things I love:

• Keeping score at a baseball game;

• A focaccia appetizer;

• Footnotes; 1

• Sandwiches; 2a, 2b

• Wikipedia;

• Hot Fuss (the Killers album) and Hot Fuzz (the movie); 3

• C. Montgomery Burns;

• Making people laugh; 4

• The St. Johns Bridge;

• Dungeons & Dragons;

• Keyboard shortcuts; 5

• When the writeup writes itself; and

• When the campaign extensions become my favorite part of the idea; and

• When the perfect title for an idea emerges from a Google Doc I created specifically to riff on a title; and

• When I show the results of the previous three points to my significant other and she seems genuinely interested. 6


1 See?

2a While I get the meaning of the phrase, “a long walk for a ham sandwich,” I think its originator wouldn’t have said that if they had the right sandwich.

2b Also, my inbox is always open for recommendations.

3 The names of which I never fail to confuse, making me look like a fake fan of both.

4 From getting a to making my CD laugh, it never fails to power my brain chemistry.

5 Arguably my most used: anything with the option key. Option+delete removes one word at a time, option+← or → jumps around one word at a time, and option+shift+← or → selects one word at a time. You’re welcome!

6 This is when I know I have a winner. In both work and in life.
