Actually, my losing the wow factor is a bit of an exception with the AB, because I still have it with a number of other things. Of course, in a lot of things, it has been growing in me lately, and I haven't seen the AB in quite some time, so maybe if I saw them again, it would be wow all over again. I wonder if maybe as a child, I was more inclined to become disinterested with such things...? In any case, I love to watch a sunset, or snowfall. I love to watch rain clouds come in (actually, more than almost anything) and I like to watch and listen to and smell the rain. I even like to feel the rain, if it is the right kind. Actually, I really love the rain. I want to live somewhere that gets more rain.
