I blew it and I apologize.
Earlier last week was International Happiness Day; technically, its official name is International Day of Happiness.
Since I am one of the most relentlessly cheerful people on the planet you might assume I'd have known this, and yet where we are. You may not be surprised that nations are ranked by their degree of happiness and despite my presence, we (the country partially around the Gulf of America) finished 24th.
Let that sink in. Twenty-fourth. This is our lowest rating (yet).
So, who finished first? Read it and weep, as incongruous as that sounds.
