-Ice cream cone for dessert on the way home (frozen pudding)
-Watching the home team win in HD on a flat screen
Not sure that this would qualify as a great day for many, but I thought is was as good as it gets.
I have often though about what would be a great day, prior to this thread. My composite great day (would be on a Saturday):
-Early morning bike ride of at least fifty miles
-brief nap
-take young daughter for a walk in downtown Boston
-catch up on a few work-related tasks, if pending, to clear them off my mind
-watch a little TV and read the newspaper; maybe some E-mailing
-go out dining and dancing with my wife
Today (Wednesday) is the first day of my vacation and I almost pulled it off, but I only rode 25 miles, and we couldn't get a babysitter for tonight.

Perhaps better luck tomorrow; at least I have planned to do 60 miles.
