My dad giving The Lunetta Look/head turn
Other people imitating my dad giving The Lunetta Look/head turn

Hearing Piano Man come on the radio.
The list of Mary Quotes that was up on the Pennsylvania Street house fridge for 2 years.
Seeing the fruit of your labor actually work at the legislature, on election night, or at the city council meeting--even if you get no credit for it, the fact it worked and your side won is the best feeling.
Doing art with my mom and brother for hours.
Getting caught in treacherous storms with friends.
Large and empty grassy fields.
