When You're Smiling...

I like the Sinatra arrangement ( actually Nelson Riddle arrangement, but...) of when you're smiling ( the whole world smiles with you). EVERYONE did this song! Bobby Darin, Nat King Cole, Tony Bennett, Bing...I think there even a Tony Martin ( I'm not a fan, but he is in the Marx Bros. The Big Store. Oh, count how many times he says "conservatory"in that movie).

Fortune cookies don't have actual fortunes anymore. They're always some cryptic assessment of your lifestyle or something, OR...the numbers from LOST. If they're not going to use fortunes, I figured it was okay to substitute something better. Actually, the cookies are good eatin' ( and the one thing I KNOW won't make me sick at our usual Chinese joint).
