101 Things That Excite MCF

My pal Curt has been gradually listing 100 reasons why he loves his wife. Regular Nexiconographers know how much I love the list format. Odds notwithstanding, perhaps someday there will be a Mrs. Cloaked Figure and I can list 100 reasons why I love her(breaking my Marvel-like regressions to a lonely status quo existence would be near the top).

However, that list awaits in some possible future at an undisclosed point in history. Today as I got out of work at 5:30 somehow, had a good workout, and drove home while it was still light out for the first time in six or seven months, a different sort of list formed.
