The yellow pine and the voluminous yellow and pink sky last night brought forth melancholy.
Maybe it's the color yellow.
So this morning I am making a list of smiling or laugh-out-loud items to use, from the ridiculous to the sublime (not necessarily in that order), whereupon concentrating on one item, it will transport me from the state of melancholy.
1. Stevie, the Montrose dog
2. Performing on circus silks
3. Keith Panko, an 8th grade boy, singing in a soprano voice, "That's the way, uh huh uh huh, I like it, uh huh uh huh."
4. Tom tiger dancing while driving home after a long hike
5. Diagnosing Osborne waves at Harborview Hospital
6. Peter saying hi at Skyhaven airport
7. Dr. Who
8. The vision of Vidya in her pale sky blue shirt walking with Ramesh along the Ganga
9. Hundreds of origami peace cranes stirring up the entire laboratory office at Christmas
10. Mike mincing around in camp wearing a red bra while drinking up all the fine single malt and slur-shouting, "You don't know me!"
