So Good

It is great when something is so good you do not trust its legitimacy. So good you suspect something is wrong. So good you are waiting for the poison to contaminate your being.

I have found several things so good that I await the hammer on the back of the head.

Philippine Brand Dried Pineapple that is naturally tree ripened pineapple sold at Sam's Club in a stay fresh resealable zipper bag. I will probably be put on Jim Neighbor's hit list for not buying Hawaiian or attacked by a large hairy venomous spider with an extra set of jumping legs straight out of the product pouch.

The Speakman 6-Jet Anystream Showerhead. Take out the removable water saver and enjoy a powerful sting of water to wash the muck away. I carry one with me wherever I go. The drawback on this baby is that when I travel, TSA continues to pilfer it right out of my checked in baggage. I have purchased at least 8 of them in the past few years and they are not cheap. I suspect I'll get more of the same treatment from our blessed government when I upgrade to the 8-Jet (a beautiful dream). Speakman, TSA and Osama are probably all in cahoots and have a good laugh about it at Bennigan's behind closed doors and boarded windows.

Sliced bread, fire and the wheel. No. I say bubbles in the drink. Can't explain it, but bubbles make it good. So good. Mountain Dew, Birch Beer, Pepsi, Sprite, Black Cherry Wisniak, Welch's Grape. Can't be anything wrong with soda! Bubbles dissipate, liquids cool and hydrate, flavor excites and satisfies.

My Purple Lazy Boy Sleeper Couch with motorized air mattress and matching pillows. Comfort beyond belief. No rails of old splitting your spine, sporting cushions that bounce back after enormous sitting pressure and I must have mentioned that it was purple, the color of royalty derived from red and blue - hot and cold - passion and respite. All who sit upon it fall into fast unexpected sleep (unless you've been on it before-then you expect the sleep) and its simple classic styling exhibiting class to all that gaze upon it. The only negative would be the smells of sleeping slobbering dirty butts embedded in the cushions that require a regular unhealthy dose of Febreeze.

I am on sensory overload now just thinking of these few "so good"s. I'll have to get a shower, drink some Dew and ingest pineapple on the purple couch.

If there is something that moves you in the "so good" realm, feel free and encouraged to share. Enjoy.

An excellent idea, posting one's "so goods." Here I go...

Olive tampinade on wee little bits of toast, you know the ones... they're about 1.5" on each side.

Fresh, sweet, ripe peaches that are so juicy that the juice runs down your arm at every bite, but dammit, you just don't care.

Stoplight burgers. The best in the world, period.

Baby animals, in particular kittens and larger varieties of the cat family such as baby lions, baby tigers, baby leopards... you get the picture.

Key lime pie. Sweet and tart, so you can't go wrong.

Rosewood knitting needles paired with cashmere yarn. Was there ever a more tactile-y pleasing combination for knitting? I think not.

Singer-songwriters who really, really move you.

Singing "Bennie & The Jets" out loud.
