Three things that made me happy today:

Resigning from both chess games with honor, and realizing that I enjoyed them enough that it didn't matter that I lost. I'll probably return to those boards in a few days to analyze them.
Having an early VD with Jodi (dinner and a movie)
Specifically, watching Sweet Land (about which more later, probably in a day or two) and talking about it afterward. For now, I'll just quote without context: "Hallo, hems." And I want an icon of Brownie's "Have more pie" line.

Three things I accomplished today:

Configuring the assistant director's new Treo smartphone to connect to the Exchange server
Taking some pretty good photographs of one of the new employees, for our website
Finding a supplier for custom compounded medication for Pied, and then finding an even better supplier after she started drooling, Turner and Hooch-style, following the administration of 1mL suspension p.o. (apparently the fish flavoring is what did it; the better supplier makes their own fish flavoring from scratch)

Three things that made me happy today:

Since my opponent didn't play 12. Kf1 Nc2, I stayed alive in this game. I'd probably have resigned at that point. I've also stayed alive against whispersessions. I'm not claiming I'll even draw either game; I'm just happy to still be in both games.
Getting compliments on the enchilada lasagna and guacamole dinner I made. I didn't see dried chipotles at the store, and I plumb forgot to pick up a jalapeño, and I used celery instead of a cup of the onions, and somehow this was pretty much exactly right.
Getting ++ed for my jokes in #code4lib.

Three things I accomplished today:

Identified the source of a Java error in our vendor's product, despite the fact that I don't know enough Java to write hello world.
Cleaned the catbox
Got to bed before midnight

Three things I did right today:

Put photos of Pied onto Jodi's iPod
Got the car to the garage and back again (even though I'll have to do it again tomorrow, since the brakes still squeak sometimes, and the steering pulls to the right)
Cooked Yukon Gold potatoes marinated in 1/4 c lemon juice, 1/3 c olive oil, 2 Tbsp Penzeys Greek Seasoning, and 1 Tbsp rosemary

Lots of people I know seem to be enjoying this, so I'll give it a try.

Three things that made me happy today:

Three things I accomplished today:

Diced celery, onions, and sweet potatoes, and minced carrots in preparation for dinner tomorrow
Played chauffeur for Jodi and Amanda so they could see Because I Said So
Got three more books ready to send out to PaperBackSwappers
