Thursday 13: Places

In this Thursday 13 post I have decided to list those places that have special meaning to me. Perhaps I may even recall a memory in each of those places. I therefore give you - in no uncertain order - the favorite places of my life...

1. St. John's Seminary Chapel in Brighton, MA
   
2. The older white people's living room in West Haven. Always clean with comfortable couches. And an older white lady humming Lara's theme in the kitchen...
   
3. The backyard on Jeffrey Drive. We could have built a football field back there. Too bad Hurricane Gloria took down the apple tree.
4. Fitzgerald Field on a Thanksgiving morning against Sheehan
5. That rock that you can reach only at low tide out by Savin Rock
6. The mall at the University of Delaware on both sides of Memorial Hall
7. My office with all of my books here in Seattle when it's not 103 degrees
8. The old man's basement watching a Super Bowl - preferably one in which the Giants are playing. It happened once.
   
9. Back on Jeffrey Drive but in the living room on Christmas morning with a fire blazing and the snow falling furiously outside
   
10. The host stand in the Newark Outback on a Saturday at about 6 p.m. What a rush.
11. On the fields at North Seatac either playing with the Thrusters or coaching the Buzz
12. St. Peter's Square staring at the Basilica
13. Dino's in North Haven on a random summer afternoon eating one of their hot dogs
