Many things are good.
This started out as a Notes thread on a Data General at The Evergreen State College, but now it's a whole new online epiphany. Enjoy what other people think is good and if you feel like telling us what you think is good, well, you'll figure out how to do it (hint -- go to the bottom).

That my fans buy my calendars chock-full-oh beautiful scenery is good. And even though I don't trust 'em and have to put a big ol' copyright symbol on each page 'cause otherwise, they would steal from me by not immediately throwing the calendar away and buying a new one (and don't think I haven't considered making up a calendar from paper that DISSOLVES in twelve months), the fact that they just meekly sorta hand over cash is good.

Rushing to a meeting, feeling a bit slagged 'cause you've been too busy to get a cup of coffee, you grab your cup, hoping to get some one the way. You realize that, through luck of Fate, last night you washed your cup before heading home, so it's clean and not filled with old-coffe scrum. Then you get to the pot and you expect to hear the wet gurgle of an empty pot (on each pot as you test), you are instead amazed when fresh hot coffee comes out. The pot is full and it was filled by the guy who's real picky about cleaning the pot and the filters before making a pot, so it's not bitter at all. This is all good.
