Money spent by someone else would make me happy-- i.e. the Cubs need to get two more really good pitchers on staff.
(Perhaps this isn't what she meant in the article.)

the Cubs need to get two more really good pitchers on staff.
So does everyone else.

All of these happiness studies never seem to show any correlation between consumption of art and happiness.
personally, nothing relieves stress for me and puts me in a better mood than jazz.

I can relate to this. I think I've bought over $100 worth of Rainier cherries so far this year and it's been worth every penny.

$200 for me, I think.

Tyler: Which grocery stores carry Rainier cherries in Northern VA? Is it only the more expensive chains like Wegmans and Whole Foods?

Unless you food shop in the morning, the chance of actually getting the Rainier cherries is highest at the lower-quality stores, such as Giant, especially in Latino neighborhoods.

Easiest way to get Rainiers is to live in the Northwest.

Tyler: Safeway actually has them fairly consistently as well. Part of it is because the company is in the process of converting all of its stores to "Lifestyle" stores, which are supposed to be more in the style of Whole Foods and Wegmans in an attempt to differentiate from and therefore compete more with WalMart (I had to read an article on this for SOM 498 at Mason). Expect to find Rainiers there with a greater frequency, as they are considered more "unique" or are "specialty" goods. Mmm...signaling.
Oh, and Giant is doing the same sort of remodeling that Safeway is. Based on what you say about not finding them at upscale stores consistently, where you find Rainiers might change. Alas.
