1) Sitting with my 6-year old son right at the plexiglass at the Prudential Center, as Alex Ovechkin and Zach Parise crash into the boards six inches in front of our faces.

2) Going to the gym and bench pressing more than the roid-heads with over-inflated muscles but no functional strength.

3) That 3-second window on a Saturday morning when you wake up in a panic at 7 AM thinking you're late for work, and then 2 seconds later you realize it's actually Saturday and you can sleep in....When that realization sets in....pure bliss....
