Happiness is . . .
- Fresh pavement on a road I’d just written off as unbikeable.
- The smell of basil and lavender all through the house as we rush to beat the frost.
- Having a major shipment of ginger Altoids on the way.
- “The Prisoner” on IFC – one instance in which I can forgive a channel’s mission creep.
- Finding out that the perfect slideshow software for a project was already right on my computer.
- New shocks on my truck – I fear no cornering!
- Crisp McIntosh apples and Concord grapes.
- Having made a backup right before one of my hard drives starting making ominous noises.
- Clients who may actually pay me.
We got "The Prisoner" box set this past summer to watch with The Daughter before she bolted for college. Still amazing, all these years on.
I'd have the DVD, too, but for some reason it has always been stupidly expensive (and I've been too lazy to chase down cheaper or used copies).
