1. Family and good health
2. Kate
3. Friends
Equal 4th in no particular order:

Outdoor activities like bushwalking/hiking

999. John Howard, Morris Dancing, Big Brother

Depending on my life circumstances at the time the equal 4th items move up and down the pecking order.

Tonight I have mixed emotions. To elaborate...Arsenal lost the Champions League final tonight in reasonably unfortunate circumstances....but...I received the new CDs of two of my most favourite of all time, Melbourne musicians; Marcel Borrack and The Killjoys. So even though yesterday I depressingly calculated that the carbon emissions that I'm directly responsible over the last 5 years of world travel, is about 30 tonnes of CO2...I'm reasonably happy because I'm fit and healthy and in PRETTY GOOD cycling form.
