3. “South American Getaway.” (click on album cover to listen.)




4. Re-reading “Comfort & Joy” every December.




5. Frank Lloyd Wright.




6. Audrey Hepburn singing “Moon River.” (click on picture to listen.)





7. Letting “A Confederacy of Dunces” fall open at random and reading whatever chapter it happens to be.




8. Sitting on my deck in the evening with a glass (or two) of ice-cold, bone-dry Chablis.




9. An early morning row.
