I love it when cats try to look nonchalant when they know they've done something wrong

The taste of chocolate, especially the Belgian Cote d'Or stuff with the elephant on the label.

Meeting Mudcatters from overseas, and sharing with them.

Ellenpoly has it right Ebbie, any music that is so beautiful, touching or elemental, that it raises the hair on your arms or neck and causes a deep outrush of breath when the passage or song is complete.

I first heard it referred to as that, years ago, in a reference to the blues, but any genre can sometimes do it for me, even The Who's Pinball Wizard or Delibe's Flower Duet from Lakme, by a few artists.

As I stared up at the beatufil ceilings, a choir, in another part of the building, began to sing.
