400 words on what I love

Courtesy of the lovely Ms. Lanthier

I love how the colour of my wife’s eyes perfectly matches the colour of both my son’s eyes.  I look at them, I see her.  I love Alice the dog’s new found love of attention, if your hand is hanging, expect her head to occupy it.  I love my mother’s ability to suggest a really tasty dinner no matter what you have in the fridge. I love getting out of the car upon arrival at the cottage and breathing in.  I love hard salami.  I love when my father purses his lips and does a dance with his hands.  I love watching my niece Emma do charades. I love crafting a fictional sentence so awkward it makes me shudder.  I love my new found ability to nap anywhere and everywhere. I love strategically setting up alone moments. I love Tasman’s new pelvic thrust dance, totally inappropriate, awesomely funny.  I love that I have five best friends that I have known for more than 25 years. I love beating Geoff at NHL 2009 at my cottage on New Year’s Day.  I love sitting down and planning a dinner party.  I love my stepfather’s faint southie accent.  I love that I am slowly reconnecting with the two neighbourhood brothers I have known since I was one years old.  I love the keyboard we bought for Hud.  I love when spooning turns into something more.  I love that I quit daily coffee and turned it into once and awhile coffee. I love coaching soccer for the fun of it.  I love making a pass that no one on the floor would even dare try.  I love rolling into a bar in front of all the snarling line up people.  I love the house music crescendo moment where everyone is going bananas on the dance floor at the exact same time. I love that Hud’s slowly emerging sense of humour is self deprecating and razor sharp. I love how passionately Steph and I fight and how quickly it’s resolved.  I love when my stepmother bites the tip of her tongue when she makes a slightly off colour comment. I love when random women immediately get my sense of humour.  I love that my nephew is a tremendous role model for my boys.  I love dominating at backgammon. I love that I collected a number of sayings over the years. I love to be precise.
