Things That Make Me Happy: An Abecedary
Because I am not feeling original, I am going to steal borrow this idea from another blog. Plus, I want to see if I can match one of my likes to every letter of the Alphabet. So, away I go:
- Austin, TX
- Bluegrass
- Cholula hot sauce
- Don Quixote
- Extra Innings
- Fans (the kind with blades not rooters)
- Gadgets
- Hummingbirds
- Irish Spring
- Job
- Kayaking (only done twice but I love it!)
- Lost
- Mandolins
- National League Games (w/o the DH there just isn’t as much strategy)
- Offspring (Jonah and Toby not the band)
- Playing catch
- Quizno’s
- Robert Caro’s Years of Lyndon Johnson
- Spouse
- Timbuk2 Bags
- Uncle Tupelo
- Vans
- Woodpeckers
- Xavier De Maistre’s Journey Around My Room
- Yo La Tengo
- Z – the letter. I love to write Zs and 7s and cross them
Damn, that was hard! I started while waiting for my hotel room, got frustrated, and put the computer away. I then tried again after I got back from the baseball game. I must have spent an hour after that trying to come up with these and I am not sure that Z is not a cop out…although I do get happy when taking notes or keeping score and I get to write a Z or a 7.

I mostly do them when I’m bored.

Yeah, I make it look easy. I’m really glad I made the list, though. Just looking at it makes me happy.
Now get to commenting on my question about your parents’ books.
P.S. Love the new design.

10 Films for Bluish Days
I haven’t been the happiest camper lately, so here’s a list partly inspired by Mike’s alphabet of happiness. I’ve noticed that there are certain films that I watch when I need a little pick me up. Here they are. I’d s…
