Today I'm in love with the world.

I don't need a reason. But if you need one, you may choose:

• it's a beautiful, sunny day

• the writers I've assigned to work on an in-depth issue are exceeding my expectations

• I was up until midnight playing Rummikub with Bryan and Lorel last night

• I'm going to Arizona this weekend to see two of my best friends and the Grand Canyon

• We're going to try cactus juice margaritas in Arizona

• I went salsa dancing Friday night, got spun silly and learned to cha-cha

• I saw Thula Sizwe Saturday night.

• Janelle and Brad got engaged this past weekend
