It is the small things in life that count as they say, trouver du bonheur the French would say and I believe the Surrealists (of any artistic movement) would understood this better than anyone.  There are plenty of Surrealistic moments in everyday life that give us pause and a huge grin on our faces – you just have to be open to them and realize some are more personalized than others.  Case in point, writing this article.  One of these moments occurred when I was in the process of scouring the net for what other people had to say about Richard Serra’s sculpture and the tiny little typo that made its way into one review I found.  I’ve already referenced that article above, but if you look closely though under the heading On View, you’ll find written Santa De Depot instead of Santa Fe Depot.  It’s no big deal right and I concur, except I was able to find my bonheur in that little mis-type.  In French, the word "dés" or "les dés" means dice.  And since I’m a strong believer that everything happens for a reason – even Santa Fe Depot – and since grammatically speaking you normally do not pronounce the -s- in dés, it made me realize what an apt ending this was to a crap shoot the museum took in installing this piece.
