Happiness is …

… listening to the heartbreakingly beautiful music of a dead man’s new album before it’s released thanks to a certain file sharing site that cannot be named. (I still miss you, Elliot.)

… driving too fast on curving Bay Area highway roads on the rare occasion that they’re empty and the car is actually working.

… kissing your wife as she’s sleeping before you take the dogs out for the last walk in the fog; making her stir, but not wake.
