Took me about 30 seconds, then it dawned on me. I think you got some news relating to your “well being”, and you are BEING WELL.
This is great. Continued blessing of this news…

October 4, 2010 10:46 am

If it is related to your personal note of few weeks ago, I am happy for you and the family, whishing you all the best!

October 4, 2010 10:47 am

Anthony,
I see two good possibilities:
a) the UN asked you to succeed Pachy at the IPCC
b) your good news involves paper, paper of the scientific variety
Or maybe both.
: )

We are all given so many days. And every day is a gift. It all depends on how we spend the moments allotted to us.
So – here am I – sitting on the other side of the world, spending a moment to send a wee message of grateful thanks to one very special person. Thank you Anthony. And I am glad it was a ‘good news’ day for you and yours. Robin (New Zealand)

Anthony, your good news is our good news.
That smilie reminds me of a sceptic in a sea of miserable warmists and doom-mongers.
I have to think of Rudyard Kipling’s If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

I could care less if it is climate related….if it relates to item #1 from this: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/08/31/announcements/ then that is FAR better news than ANY “climate related” “good day.”!
Thanks Anthony for all you do.

October 4, 2010 12:02 pm

I have absolutely no idea why, but like so many have already commented, I’m suddenly smiling and thinking happy thoughts…
Initially I thought it must be the prospect of the patter of tiny little feet, but then I saw your photo and realised that would be pretty unlikely 😉
So maybe it was just wind, but surely a weather man would know that was coming !
That leaves good news on the health front as the next most likely cause of your jubilation, and as someone who survived a cardiac arrest earlier this year (thanks to my wife and the paramedics) I can certainly vouch for the happy day feeling associated with that kind of news.
So on that assumption, best wishes to you and your family, live life to the max.
(On the other hand, if you’ve just won the lottery and decided to jack it all in and move to some low-lying tropical island ……. then stuff you, you selfish, smug, conceited, gloating, jammy bugger.)

Anthony,
Whilst you bask in the glow of a GOOD day, derive also some degree of well-deserved satisfaction and pleasure from the fact that your simple hint has your friends world-wide sharing in that self-same glow, even though they know not what has made this day special for you. That you have publicly declared this day to be a GOOD day has brightened many other lives because that’s how much we all like you.
Whatever it is that has cheered you, all I can add to the many comments here is “Good for you! You deserve a good day. Enjoy!”

Well thanks Anthony for sharing as much as you could, both today and earlier. Whatever it is, I know it will reflect your staunch humanity that has not just sat up night and day with the work here, but has led both the attack and the defence with unmatched fidelity, courtesy, good science, and good humour.
Heh – perhaps Phil Jones has ‘fessed privately to you that you have been right all along but he’s not yet ready to come clean to everyone. Perhaps you’ve had a windfall that now enables you to employ a secretary… or two… and a researcher… or two. Whatever. Blue Sky.
