HP: Day 9

So many things made me happy today (Guggenheim fiftieth anniversary wonderfulness, magnificent Kandinsky paintings, finding out Kandinsky was a 30 year old lawyer when he decided he wanted to be an artist, dropped the law, and became one of the greatest artists of the last century, Guggenheim cookies, making every bus/subway at exactly the right time, hanging out with my favorite wife and person, having dinner with my favorite wife and person at one of our favorite restaurants, free wine with dinner, AMAZING dinner, ridiculously good movie in which first 10 minutes were in yiddish with subtitles and next five minutes were in hebrew without subtitles, talking about the ridiculously good movie with good friends I went to the movie with, reading Blood Meridian on the A train home). So am I really gonna go with this?

Yes. I am.

Being mean to a mean person and watching them get angry, knowing there is nothing they can do about it other than get angry. (Is that wrong?) (I don't care if it is, it makes me happy)

Eating vegetarian dim sum in Chinatown on a rainy day.

Things that make me happy: Day 2

Running in the morning with a friend, and watching the sun shimmer off of the Hudson River

New format

I've decided to take this blog that's been dormant for a while and turn it into a site where I post things and links to things that make me happy. Here's the first one.
