1. The prospect of picking with Janet.
2. Dancing with JNB at the Pulse and not arguing about the toilet functioning (or not).
3. Dancing with other men at the Pulse and getting the hang of the East Coast Lindy, almost.

6. The way the scent of the preserved chutney waltzes around the house.

9. Cheese. Fresh mozzarella with peach salsa, especially.
10. Having a phone conversation in the basement where it was cool and very very quiet except for the water heater.
