not sure if I'd take the money but I seem to run in pursuit of soulful happiness :-)

They say money can't buy happiness, but I'd like to try.

This might interest you: When Jefferson wrote these words, by the pursuit of 'happiness,' he meant what we now call 'virtue.' I think that explains a whole lot to suckers like me who thought he meant 'happiness.' Oh, and by the way, I'll take the money too. ~ Gershon
