Not necessarily in order of preference... music encompassing #'s 8, 9, and 10.
1. The recent national elections (reason for optimism, which has been missing since 2000).
2. Doing a weekly webcast.
3. This season's "The Wire". Can't explain it, but was both moved and haunted.
4. In a similar vein, "The Departed". Jack & Marty, in top form.
6. Martin Short on Broadway. Scoring half-price tickets.
7. Finally mastering the technique of indexing and burning vinyl & cassettes to CD-R. It took 2 sessions to get it, thanks to Lupica & Liz Berg.
