Things that rather absurdly make me happy

Things that make me happy, for no good reason at all:

• Setting off down a snowy sidewalk and seeing a single set of footprints, heading in the same direction as you, shoe size perhaps a bit smaller, stride perhaps a bit smaller. And then matching the person's stride exactly, only where they stepped with the left foot, you step with the right, to the right of their print; and vice versa for the right foot; so that when you look back, the effect is of someone who took a long series of very short jumps down the sidewalk.


• I used to live right here. Right there, I tell you!


• The fact that someone dropped a button onto the Google Earth photo before it was scanned in and posted. Hee hee!

It's not that I'm easily amused. It's that the things that do amuse me, often amuse me deeply.
