Lengthy updates via email from cross-country friends
The very last sniffle of a cold
A found twenty-dollar bill
Cold lemonade or hot tea, depending on the weather
Sample subscriptions to magazines boasting implicit simplicity
A deep breath and a deep stretch
A cell phone chirp indicating a new text message
A snarky comment prevented from repetition aloud
A soft bed, with high thread count sheets freshly laundered
Low glow from an antique lamp
A well-thumbed book, the third time read
Free lunch, and even better, at a restaurant
A scary movie, and someone to split buttered popcorn with
Al fresco anything
Having someone tell you there’s something in your teeth, immediately
Impromptu invitations
A sick day for your boss
Sunlight through the sunroof
Dew on grass, and then feet on dew
Praise
Icy water, without the ice
Naps
Sunday night before a Monday holiday
The burger at Wellville, Blue 9 or Corner Bistro
Bryant Park’s fountain
The still of seven a.m.
Being second in line (first is the worst, second is the best…)
Trampolines
Blue-bottomed pools
When someone refers to you as their best friend
Rooftop cocktails and fireworks
Bare arms and legs in the afternoon
Sunglasses that don’t pinch
Tulips
Shade
Knowing that, on Friday morning, the entire weekend lies ahead
