Thank you Jrazz for starting this thread.
1. My almost 15 year old son who called me yesterday from away camp to make sure we weren't involved in an accident that closed the Golden Gate Bridge. He was worried about me!
2. I was not part of above accident.
3. That we were able to take an amazing photo standing smack dab in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge during the hour we waited for it to reopen so we could pick up our almost 15 year old son from away camp.
4. Found parking within a block of our favorite ice cream shop on a busy Saturday night.
5. The soft flannel sheets that wrap me up as I post here on SI.
