10. The mexican freetail bats emerging at dusk from under Congress Avenue Bridge.
9. Zilker Botanical Gardens.
7. Watching Ana create two items out of glass.
6. Great shopping!
5. A late, debaucharous (sp?) night of dancing with a skirt that was too short, with no concerns whatsoever.
4. Witnessing Becky and Jon marry. Beginning a life together is a big deal.
3. Seeing my 75 year-old dad in a tuxedo for the first time (he gave away the bride), and asking him to dance. Damn, he's pretty smooth.
2. Watching my daughter recite a poem (below) during toasts in front of 100 people. She's so brave, and I am tremendously proud. 4 days with her was such a tremendous gift.
1. Coming home to my 2 sweet boys, and my honey of a husband.

In poems, our earth's wonders
Are windowed through
Words
A good poem must haunt the heart
And be heeded by the head of the
Hearer
With a wave of words, a poet can
Change his feelings into cool, magical, mysterious
Mirages
Without poetry our world would be
Locked within itself--no longer enchanted by the poet's
Spell
Peter Keslo
