Like to play games or Cornhole or any other match.

Maps, of course-one part of being a roadgeek.

Music is another-I know some things that the average listener may not know right off the bat.

I love my 2010 Ford Explorer.

I also enjoy roads (duh), history, music, and sports.

i enjoy my job. there i said it.

it combines two of my favorite things: listening to music, and getting paid. i get to see interesting cars all day, get free stuff all over town, it pays surprisingly well, and i enjoy the interactions i have. if i have made you smile while you're sitting at the light, cool. if it makes you think about painting your house, even better.

i see people go by me all day, some of whom probably have unsatisfying jobs, and i'm just ... what's not to love? i get paid to play air guitar on a streetcorner, have a river in my backyard, and i'm visited by random cats.

Of getting hugged? Of getting offered a spot? Of playing hide and seek?

The answer to all three of those is probably not.

I know.  Still no.
Don’t ask me how I know.  Just understand that I do.

I imagine it's Facebook-style personal photos, which we don't really need people to start posting here. If I wanted to see photos of people dorking around with people I don't know, I would sign into Facebook more often.

Not all at the same time, obviously...

- My kids' smiles, laughter, joy and the sparkle in their eyes
- When my kids ask questions I can answer
- When my kids ask questions that make no sense
- When my kids ask questions and we both learn something new
- Time with my wife
- Time with my wife when the kids aren't around
- Friends and family
- Driving to new places
- Making like 5 green lights in a row (or more)
- A curvy road with no traffic
- Travel, preferably somewhere different
- Taking time to enjoy the scenery
- Food that I don't get to enjoy often enough
- Food that my kids enjoy because I suggested it
- Homemade dessert
- Beautiful things and boring things and sometimes ugly things too
- Champagne, because it elevates everything and I don't turn red when I drink it
- Photography...getting the right shot at the right moment is satisfying
- Going outdoors all day and not getting sunburned (this is somewhat rare)
- Getting the job done right the first time
- People who give a darn without being a jerk about it
- Letting people enjoy things (though sometimes I forget this)
- Letting someone else enjoy what I've done and seen before
- Drawing, when I find time for it, even though I have a fragile ego in this department
- Music that I enjoy and sometimes it's satisfying to unexpectedly hear it elsewhere
- Making some electronic music on an iPad (doesn't qualify me as a musician, but so what?)
- Petting dogs and cats that aren't trying to annihilate you
- The start of a Formula 1 race
- Finding bliss
- Exercise which didn't wear me out nor cause regrets the next day
- Getting recognized for doing some minor thing which didn't really need recognition
- Old clothes that still fit
- Old stuff that still works; especially if they were dormant for years
- Knowing That The Man Can't Put No Thing On Me
- Playing in the dirt sometimes
- Maps are cool too

This!



Would render as 05:30:19 the following day at my end (no AM/PM because I use the so-called military time).
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.
