What Made Me Happy Today

I am a man of simple tastes.  It's easy to please me in inexpensive, unsophisticated ways and I am content with that arrangement.

A good pepperoni pizza.
An episode of Star Trek that doesn't focus on Deanna Troi or her mother.
My cat catching a mouse (it happened exactly once).
An unexpected day off from work.
An episode of BBC's The Repair Shop.

These are things that really make me truly happy.  I try to find something like that at least once a day.  To my mind true happiness is a puzzle we have to put together ourselves a piece at a time rather than something we should expect or feel entitled to.  A little effort and I can find something to make me happy even on a bad day.

So why am I telling you this?

Because this made me very happy just now.


That's right.  An $11 tee shirt with Deadpool crossing a rainbow on a unicorn.

Come home after a crap day, take off the company logo and put this on my fat self and I look in the mirror and can't help but smile.  Crap day?  What crap day?  I've got Deadpool on a unicorn on.

Puzzle pieces folks.  One at a time.
