You can "like" or "unlike" anything on Facebook, including pictures of yourself and political comments that either delight or disgust you. But most of the time, you don't get a chance to say what you really like or dislike. Those things just aren't among the choices. It occurred to me today when the sun really came out, instead of floating like a ghost behind the gloomy March sky, that making a list of likes (or dislikes) on a sort of impulse basis (no deep thoughts here) would be fun. Add-ons permitted at any time. Discards, too. So here's a start: and the add-ons, as of 3/10/2013, have begun! Just tucked them in there ....

Robert Frost, new snow, cooking with grandchildren, writing, being in bed, Maya Angelou, cooking, walking the dog, reading novels, reading news, reading biographies, reading most anything, reading in bed, talking to Charlotte, kissing my husband on the back of the neck when he's dozing at the computer, making soup, pulling weeds, planting seeds and plants, eating, eating she-crab soup, playing word games with offspring, from Bananagrams to Words with Friends, hitting the road, driving the car, bird songs, E. J. Dionne, blueberries, my computer, knitting ...
Dislikes:
Ice (not man-made), putts that miss by a quarter inch, running blood especially if it's mine, dead mice, live mice, squirrels of any color, bad drivers, my computer, folding laundry, getting on a scale, grocery shopping, typos, snakes, m0ldy bread, people who phone before nine a.m., chickens, squid, bigots, FedEx Ground, retail web sites that don't work well, fitted sheets that don't fit ...
Hmm. This is kind of fun. I think I'll plan on the add-ons.
