At the local Fourth of July parade and fair, I won a goldfish by tossing a ping pong ball into a glass bowl. It was sheer luck that I did it on the first lob. My girlfriend asked me what I was going to call my tiny orange prize, swimming around in a plastic bag, and I replied, "Goldie". For which I received an immediate rebuke, "Goldie? As in goldfish?" So I came up with "Happy" as in Happy Fourth of July. As expected, Happiness is fleeting.
