The clinking of knitting needles . Nice socks . Drinking coffee in the forest at sunrise . Paris .
Working list of things I dislike:
People with something to prove . Rush hour . Cell phone companies . Hearing the stupid conversations taking place in the BCC backyard while I'm trying to watch a movie . People who answer their phones in the middle of a meal . Waiting in line . Talking about my feelings . Waking up to an alarm . Licorice . Folding laundry . Skim milk .
There are things you do because they feel right & they make no sense & they may make no money & it may be the real reason we are here: to love each other & to eat each other's cooking & say it was good. —Brian Andreas
