School House Rock would have its young and impressionable viewers believe that the Pursuit of Happiness chiefly involves chasing after young colonial women and is therefore reserved for young athletic colonial men.
My dear Reader, may I impress upon you the ridiculousness of this claim by suggesting a few simple pleasures in my own Pursuit of Happiness:
1. Cheap white nail polish—the kind so thin it runs down your nails clear and pools into French tips. A very sophisticated and classy look for only $1.07 at your local Dollar Tree.
2. Ceramic Scrabble tiles—smooth edges and a soft, hefty, cool feel. Rattling around they make a satisfying clinkety sound.
3.(Vegetarian) EggMcMuffins for breakfast—toasted English muffin with sharp cheddar and egg over-easy. Definitely to be eaten over the sink; drippy yoke and all comes off as quite barbaric even sans the Canadian bacon. For culinary perfection, serve with a tall glass of tomato juice.

Mal, you are the least barbaric people I know. The thought of you killing something and then eating it makes me double over in laughter.
One of my simple pleasures: leaving laundry unwashed, dishes undone and sitting, smiling, in front of a computer screen reading your blog. Mom
