2010 Happiness ChallengeHow are you guys doing in your 2010 Happiness Challenge? Week 1 was about getting more sleep, and I’m proud to report that the Snook and I have made positive changes in this area.

Sam Kekovich goes to the United Nations. I know that my vegetarian friends are probably sick of these ads, but I’ll admit they give me a giggle. (The one where he says “My fellow Australians: The world economy is ROOTED!” actually made me laugh out loud.) I’m really looking forward to putting some lamb on…
