Ode to the fun and free things.

With the deluge of financial bad news permeating all of the orifices of the nation, I thought I would make an attempt to steer the conversation to the positive side and recite a few things that I love about life right here, right now.

I love sleeping in.

I love jogging instead of driving, even miles away. So what if you're glistening and smelly when you get to TJ's and then you have to shlep your wine bottles in a backpack clinking all the way up back up the hill? Urban jogging is the new black.

I love making unecessary abrviatns.

I love sunsets in California.

I love the beach.

I love eating fruit off trees in the street.

I love meeting new people in most cases.

I love yoga.

I love freshly ironed shirts.

I love the blogosphere and having unlimited information at my fingertips.

I love street musicians.

That's it for now. In keeping with the economic climate of our current times, you will note that all of these are free. Let us not think that we can not have fun and love without spending money! Onward mine broke comrades!
