Your perfect day?

A warm spring day. I go out with my loppers and hand shears and shape (my wife says torture) the trees only to find the koi are active.

A good lunch with the wife unit. She reads through it but talks with me anyway. :) I end up throwing great pots all afternoon and open a new kiln just before dinner.

Dinner is huge and we have friends over. We spend the last hour of light throwing sticks in the ponds for the dogs and come in for some game thing with friends. Whatever kind of group game. Drawing stuff or questions, somehting that gets everyone involved.

Get good emails, snuggle into bed with the wife and a book which I don't get enough reading done on.



I think I come closer to this on a regular basis than I deserve. :heh:

Oh, no doubt. Having that perfect day over and over again would be a drag. There are days when I need more (a lot more) time with Mrs. Noah. There are days when I need more reading time, or more social time. There are days when working is just the right thing to be doing. There are days when a nice long nap is just the ticket.
 


My perfect day would be me wakingup around 11 am, having just me and my mom at home. Lounging around until 2, which is when I would take a shower. Then I would have an absolutely entrhalling video game to play, which I would play until I went out to dinner. After that I would get home and keep playing the game into the night.
 

My pefect day would be when I get to bring justice to all those that did me wrong in the past, then a night with my girl.
 

Yea, I agree with Thornir, there are many kinds of perfect days.

I think one of my happiest days was in Jamaica, on my honeymoon. The wife unit and I would hang out in the pool next to the beach, and swim up to the bar and get a pina colada. It doesn't get much better than that. Those were great times.

Gen Con is another kind of great day. Waking up, taking a quick shower, and then just soaking up gaming at the dealer hall, and gaming, and hanging out with friends all day, and then just crashing at night. That's great fun.

I've actually had great days at work, where I felt like I'd accomplished something, or written some great lines of code, or solved some hard problems, or made great progress on a project. Those days are good, but unfortunately very few and very far between.

The day my daughter was born was a great day. Or maybe the day we brought her home for the first time.

The day I proposed was pretty awesome.
 

It's a weekend, since there is no such thing as a perfect day when work is involved. Preferably it's a holiday or personal day, which means I'm being paid for all this at the same time, but not one of the holidays where everything is closed. It's either spring or fall, one of those too-rare days we get in the South when it's not too hot or too cold; there is a stiff wind smelling of new-mown grass or autumn. It's clear and sunny, with no real humidity and no pollen.

I get up and don't have to clean up after the dogs, but can put them straight out. I can play some on the PC, then go to lunch with a couple friends. Then go to the comics or game or video store and pick up something I've been wanting for some time. Then relax some more with a movie or go to a movie, or go walking someplace I've seldom been. Then gaming that night, and I can sleep in in the morning since there is no work the next day either.

I've had a few days laike that, but too far apart.
