1. I received the loveliest, most encouraging note ever from an agent—even though it was a rejection. Seriously, it's the kind of thing you print and hang on your wall. Made my day.
2. A good review for my new Sherlock Holmes Professor Moriarty story.
3. The best tortelloni I've ever had and also the best caramel popcorn I've ever had (though not at the same time because that would be weird).
