Fellow blogger Poppy Cede had a cool idea to post the 10 things she loves beginning with the letter "C."
Inspired by this, I thought I'd share my own list, in no particular order:
1. Christine, Chloe and Carol. These are members of my family -- my wife, my daughter and my sister.
2. Chocolate. Chocolate mousse, chocolate cake, chocolate brownies, chocolate ice cream, a Nestles bar, anything from Godiva or Lindt.
3. Caffeine. Need my jump-start. One of my few vices. Percolate me, please. Starbucks bold is top choice.
4. Cotton. I'm wrapped in it. Briefs, pants, shirts. There's nothing like a crisp, ironed shirt to start the day.
5. Cubs. My first game was Wrigley Field and I've lived and died with them since the '60s. Damn Steve Garvey and Steve Bartman.
6. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Their harmonizing is mesmerizing and their music is always groovy.
7. California. Napa, Mill Valley, San Francisco, Monterey, Santa Monica, LA, Hollywood, San Diego. If I had grown up here, I would never have moved.
8. Comforter. A bed is not a bed without one.
9. Cabernet Sauvignon. The king of reds. I love a good Petite Sirah or Pinot Noir, but when a Cab is done well, there's nothing like it.
10. Cape Cod. The traffic can be brutal, but the beaches are amazing. There's nothing like biking to Nauset Light Beach and whipping a Frisbee around.
