5. Seeing all the neighbors emerge from their houses, blinking like they’ve been under rocks all winter. (Haven’t we all?)

Coming soon!!!

Great list, I don’t think I could think of any better things to look forward to. except maybe subbing the running with dog walking.
And the Olive Green is perfect, it sounds just like you.

Tho I’m olive green too, I’m not going there – I have to say I made your potatoe stuff last night and may never want to eat anything else again. Totally can’t be good for you, but very tasty!
Thank you very much!
