I agree with the coffee.

Having my kids sneak in bed in the middle of the night to snuggle and sleep.

Sitting around a fire on a cool night with either baseball or sports talk radio on all alone.

A long walk or jog in summer.

Grilling anything alone with a beer.

2 uninterrupted hours with a brand new video game.
It blows my mind that you have kids young enough to sneak into bed with you, yet you can still find two uninterrupted hours with a brand new video game.

Unless the kids aren't as young as I'm imagining. :oldunsure:
:lol: . 6 & 4, they live with their Mom. Free time is still very hard to come by.

 
Walking out of the office at the end of the day
Walking through the door at home and having the kids yell "daddy's home!" before trying to tackle me.
Last night was the first time neither kid (7 and 3) did this. :cry:
Get used to it.. My Daughter is 15 and at most I get a "Hi" when I walk in the door. :(

Get yourself a couple of dogs.. When I walk in the door both run to me happy as heck that I came home.. the Beagle cries like I've been gone for a few weeks. :thumbup:

first sip of a great cup of coffee followed by the first bite of your favorite pastry.
This enhances the coffee experience x100. I've changed my diet and avoid sugar now, but every once in a while I'll dive into something sweet with my coffee. Sheer heaven.

 
When I get home from a 3 or 4 day work trip and my daughter gives me a big hug and refuses to let go. Makes my eyes wet every time. I wish I could live in that moment forever.

I knew it was coming, and I dread the silence I know will come with their teen years... but I want more years of this, dammit.

Maybe they didn't have their helmet on and weren't ready for you?
as if that thread wasn't bad enough... but thanks for bringing it in here- awesome :thumbup:

I have an 18 year old. Haven't gotten a "DADDY!!!!!" or a huge hug in probably 7 or 8 years from her. However, I have a 9 year old also, so I still get that stuff from her, but I know it's ending. And it makes me sad. Enjoy it while it lasts...

 
I love browsing in a music store. Because those practically don't exist anymore, I don't get to do it as often, but occasionally, I'll go to some place that has old LPs or something and just wander around. I love the smell of the place and the wandering around. I fell the same way about libraries and book stores.

In fact, I feel so relaxed in those places, I often times have to poop. Been that way for a long time. My wife teases me all the time when I tell her I'm wandering around in a bookstore she says "Working up a dump??""

 
masturbation nostalgia. thinking about how softcore porn and vogue magazines used to be enough to get you off before you were not yet saturated with all the filthy crap that pervades the internet today.

But the teen years aren't so bad. See my post about volleyball above.

 
A bit of a downer but my dog got ran over and killed this week and I didn't realize how much I loved seeing her goofy face waiting on me as I pulled in and the 5 minutes of petting her and scratching behind her ears that I did.

 
Being able to say hi to a stranger.
Related: when I'm out running and someone engages me in an actual hello. I always make it a point to make eye contact and honestly say hello. You'd be surprised at how many people deflect that and just stare at the ground or look the other way.

You should go running around NYC, lots of attention there apparently.

 
Any form of athletic competition. No matter what's going on with work stress, girl stress, etc. I can tune it out if I'm playing a sport.

Other simple pleasures include: 1) now that I'm married, just getting that look from a girl that indicates she'd put out if you'd ask; 2) the unsolicited wife BJs as previously indicated; and 3) weirdly, finding some screaming deal on golf apparel at Ross.

 
i have been sitting on my front porch with my dog for roughly 3 hours this afternoon as he sleeps and i watch him have dogmares.

he is running from something and every so often cries in his sleep.

lol

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I know exactly what you mean. After I put down my German Shepherd a few years back I felt so lonely not having him poke his head through the garage door when I came home.I'm sorry for your loss.

 
I also love my 45 minute commute home, where I can zone out (but still drive), listen to music, or listen to Sirius/XM Fantasy Football channel. I concentrate hard when at work, and when the moment I get home, I help kids with homework, getting them ready for bed, and doing other stuff the wife wants done.

:yes: The pups are always so glad to see me. Dogs rule.

 
the perfectly struck 7-iron

the perfectly made margarita
:goodposting: For me it's when my drive actually hits the fairway. When you drive it 280+, the margin for error is much smaller.

Margaritas are going to be consumed while I take the kids out for Halloween. :yes:
It's like when you need a hambone for the win. You get up on the approach, release the ball and you know right away "oh yeah, this is a good ball". Then BOOM, 10 in the pit.

I can totally relate to this. When I first became a dad, there was nothing more awesome than seeing how excited my daughter was to see me come home. Now, she's four, and she will occasionally give me a hug when I walk in the door, but it's certainly no longer an every-day occurrence. She's growing up fast (started pre-school this fall), and although it's really cool to see everything she's learning, it's things like this that I will always miss.

My son (who turned 2 a few months ago), on the other hand, still gets excited every time I walk through the door. Last night, I could hear him before I even closed my car door... "Daddy's home!! Wooohoooooooo!!" He's a riot. :lol:
