The movie is “Say Anything” - John Cusack and Ione Skye. Their relationship is in crisis. She is in her house and he is outside standing beside his car. He holds his boombox over his head and blasts “In Your Eyes” by Peter Gabriel to tell her how much he loves her. Gets me every time!!

Watching the fireworks over Boston Harbor that are synchronized to fire with the cannons of the 1812 Overture that is being played by the Boston Pops.

The view from Whiteface Mountain

An Olympic gymnast executing a perfect uneven parallel bar routine and then sticks the landing!!

The scene in “Bridges of Madison County” when Francesca opens the cardboard box that the UPS driver brought her and she pulls out the silver bracelets that Robert always wore.

Being with my baby in the labor room while she was giving birth to her baby.

The end of “Alien II” when Sigourney Weaver tells the Alien that is intent on getting Newt to “GET AWAY FROM HER YOU BITCH!!”

“Nights in White Satin” by The Moody Blues

Standing next to Niagara Falls

A tickle on the back of my neck

A sneeze (Thanks, Jackie!)
