Gratitude: July 3rd

- A splendid visit to the Enchanted Forest, Oregon's own handmade theme park. The whole thing is built on one man's dream to create something beautiful and share it with the world. Most inspiring, and absolutely fun.

- A good friend of mine has landed a long-sought job. It's so wonderful to see good people reach their cherished goals.

- The documentary 'Wordplay,' which is exquisite geekery and made me feel a bit gladder to be alive.
