23 things I like to do
If you've been reading this blog very long, you know that 23 is a special number for me and my wife. In honor of that, every so often I make a list of 23 things. These are 23 things I like to do, in no particular order:
- Write.
- Read.
- Sing to my wife.
- Sing to our baby.
- Eat my wife's chicken pot pie, with her oatmeal/coconut/chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
- Point out grammar and punctuation errors printed on big signs.
- Play with a playful dog (preferably a boxer).
- Lipsync or sing along with the entire soundtrack of a Broadway musical. Sweeney Todd is perfect for this.
- Act in skits or plays. (Actually, any sort of performance in front of a crowd—dramatic or musical—is a real rush for me.)
- Find posts on other blogs that celebrate marriage.
- Tell other people how wonderful my wife is.
- Play catch with an Aerobie.
- <censored by Mrs. Happy>
- Play a competitive game of Spades.
- Fold a big, complicated piece of origami.
- Browse around a bookstore.
- Spend all freakin' day on the computer. (This list item was suggested by Mrs. Happy.)
- Discover a good movie that none of my friends have seen.
- Dance like a spaz when no one's watching.
- Learn something new.
- Play the ukulele.
- Talk to an octogenarian.
- Watch my wife sleep.
