My five good things in life:

  • My wife, when I can get her to myself

  • A perfect Manhattan (that means both kinds of vermouth), up, in a stemmed glass

  • The Velvet Underground, best of all the live bootlegs

  • Reading an excellent book, especially discovering that a reputed classic deserves its reputation, or rediscovering an old favorite

  • A Catholic church or Eucharistic chapel, when it is quiet, ideally with dimmed lights, and Our Lord in a monstrance

Thanks Zanz! And no such thing as being too based to not enjoy at least five good things in life. Here are mine:

  1. C.S. Lewis: there are few thinkers who have had as much of an impact on the trajectory of my life as him

  2. Really really dry ginger beer: I'm talking the fever tree mixers here, none of that Vernor's stuff, though I acknowledge it…
