JD, you picked up on that honey bees thing. Albert has been gone for a good long time now and honeybees are extremely threatened at the moment. What a prediction.
I particularly like the walking and smiling suggestion. I think that is key although I always feel like a lunatic if I'm walking along, smiling to myself.
In my case I AM a lunatic, so -- works for me! Plus it's often my natural tendency. Even when I was a teenager the other kids in high school would wonder what I was smiling about.
Nice apple discussion in this thread. It's cool how many varieties are in the stores now. Plus things like purple potatoes.
Red Delicious used to be my favorite when I was a kid, but now that it has come up, these days it does generally seem like they are on their way to rotting by the time they get to the kitchen.
EDIT: back to page 5 -- I may never catch up!
