Pleasing things

[gurdymonkey]

Because it really isn't always all about WTF moments and refugees from the Land of No Clue.

Candle light. Last Christmas, someone gave me one of those barrel staves with holes in it that holds six votive cups. I lit it tonight and turned off the lamps while watching "I Claudius."

bovil 's cooking. (Was this the pork tenderloin recipe you used? It was incredible.)

One of those conversations with kproche .

A post card from Dad.

Really good sashimi, good sake, and excellent company.

PM-ing about silly shit with gcmadtown81 .

An entirely voluntary cuddle from a nine year old who seems comprised entirely of elbows.

Bing cherries, right out of the refrigerator.

Bottle green Thai silk. (Must do something with it!!!)

syele 's laugh.

Borrowing a book from my father that happened to be his teaching copy, getting bits of his perspective as to what he found significant, as well as trying to puzzle out some of his more cryptic scribbles.(I've finished Galatea 2.2 and am about halfway through Little Dorrit.)

The routine coming-and-going sounds of the other tenants in the house, all of whom I get along with.

I don't know if it counts as a pleasing thing, but I just came home from the Shire sewing night down here, where the undergrad who does Japanese garb and persona was recommending patterns from your site for Serenity (toddler Pennsic garb) and going on to show me useful museum websites.

A large number of people do adore your website and use it with intelligence and appreciation. (It could also help that it's a college-centered shire, so they understand both the concept of research and how laborious it can be (and know how to cite their sources -- they gave me your full persona name(s) when showing me the website).

Here's to the pleasing things far outweighing the WTF moments.
