Just say yes

 LISTEN. Happiness meets for the last time in 2021 today, scheduled to return in '23.

I've taught this course biennially for quite a long time now, and I still don't think we can do better for a coda than Charles Schulz. Happiness is a warm puppy. And really, it's "anyone and anything at all/That’s loved by you."

So our parting takeaway has to be: love profligately, and love well.

And don't be Sally Brown.
