Happiness For Beginners

After saying I don’t watch many movies I turned on the new Netflix movie “Happiness For Beginners” starring Ellie Kemper. Great scenery. Good movie.

It used to be God Country Family. Perhaps God Family Country. Surely JOY – Jesus Others You. All should come before SELF, which gets to what’s bugging me right now…

Pet peeve: I’ve learned over the years that if your boss asks you to do something, you do it. Yes, except if it’s something illegal or lying or cheating. But if your boss asks you to go somewhere with him (like lunch) you go. It’s not about the food, but spending the time together, discussing various things. If the boss asks the entire team to go, it's an opportunity for team building. Then if one team member declines just because they don’t want to go, the whole team misses out.

Denison on the secret to happiness: Harvard professor Arthur C. Brooks, who specializes in happiness studies, explained: Happiness took a real big dip when social media came along.

TONY LAZZERI [SABR Bio] was the first player in organized baseball to hit 60 home runs in one season, for the AA Salt Lake City Bees in 1925. He was the first player to appear with teams in different leagues in consecutive World Series, playing for the NYY in 1937 and CHC in 1938 (facing his old team). Scouts were reluctant to pursue him as a player because it was known he was epileptic. Ed Barrow signed him in spite his epilepsy diagnosis. The condition affected Lazzeri only a couple of times during his career.
