Come to think of it, I really don’t need much…

 

An oven that is true to its temperature

A good book

A weekend nap

Quality beer

NPR

An Internet connection of moderate speed

Baseball on a sunny day

Warm clothes in the Winter

Flip-flops in the Summer

The company of my wife and three boys

Some peace and quiet…

 

Wait!  Hold the phone, direct contradiction right there.  See it?  “Company of my three boys” and “peace and quiet.”  Unresolvable conflict.  I do however consider myself a problem solver.  As a result, I am willing to amend my list…

 

Strike – “Some peace and quiet”

Add – “Just quiet enough that I can compose a single thought”

 

Sounds reasonable, but unlikely.  The weekend nap, however, is nonnegotiable.
