Singing “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” in the kitchen with my two little daughters.

The Wilco/Jayhawks doublebill in Chicago in 1997. Left early because my new shoes hurt. That was dumb.

Waking my husband at 4 a.m. to tell him I’m pregnant.

I posted mine last week! Here are a few of them:

-Have myself a real live “Shark Experience,” and live to tell everyone how I wet myself before during and afterward.
-Visit Lithuania, where my paternal grandfather was born.
-Swim the stretch of river that stole my father from me.
-Step foot on African soil.
-Sit with my maternal grandmother on her couch and rub her tired feet while we talk about nothing and everything.
-Watch Ray Lamontagne play a live show, from the front row.
