It's the little things

People invariably ask me what do I miss from back home?
Well here is a quite random list -

• A Tim Hortons double double with milk - none of this 'tall black' with milk shit
• Hearing a house phone ring - and even better it being for me!
• My own bed, in my own sheets and blankets - not on some bunk bed sharing a room with 7 other people where snoring is not your only problem of noise...
• Watching a Blue Jays game on the TV - and give me my Sports Highlights afterwards!!
• The sound a car makes when the lights are left on and the front door is ajar - hell, I'd love just to be in a real car
• Being able to sit on a nice clean couch and having the option of passing out on it - a LazyBoy would be nice too
• Being at a bar and running into people you know
• Listening the radio in the car - my iPod tunes are getting a tad over-played
• That feeling of walking outside and having your nostrils freeze
• Going on a bagel run in the UCC with the Gatsby Boys - it was if Santa Claus himself would come into the house and announce a new run was completed, this time with sandwiches
• Wearing a nice pair of casual shoes, a clean pair of pants, and a crisp ironed shirt
• And finally eating a big plate of my Mom's spaghetti!! and having seconds later in the night

But of course nothing beats just sitting around with family and friends and having a good laugh.

All in due time.
