Apple pie and baseball

A few quick thoughts on things I'm looking forward to in the days, weeks and months ahead, in no particular order...

Chicago style pizza. A fresh load of laundry warm right out of the dryer. A glass of tap water. Going to Comerica Park to see the Tigers. Sailing on Lake St. Clair. BBQing with friends, and meeting some new additions to their families. Decent burgers. Catching up on TV shows. Poker games. Sitting on the deck of the boat sipping a dark-n-stormy. Weather warm enough for Teva's and shorts. Wearing the rest of my wardrobe. Greenbacks (and making some again). Monday Lunch Meetings. The Grafton, and bringing some new tunes to the session there. Hitting up the session at Conor O'Neill's. New Harry Potter--movie 5 and book 7. Buying a house. Ann Arbor in the fall. Gameday weekends at my new house in town?

And of course, seeing the look on my nephew's face when I first see him again, and the disbelief in how big he and his baby brother have gotten in the past three months. And joyful embraces from the rest of my family as well.

Speaking of things you have missed, what was your shower experience in Ireland and other places you visited? If you were like us when you were in Italy, you must remember taking showers in telephone booth sized showers. The one thing I really, really enjoyed was taking a shower in our super-sized shower at home.
