sorry nick, i'm still working on that USA post...give me a few more days and hopefully I can have it up by then...
until then though just a note...
this weekend the weather has been spectacular. Gorgeous. In this part of the world that means plus degree temperatures that approach the 8-10 degree centigrade mark.
Clear, clear skies, full of blue, awash in sunshine. The smell of mud, grass and puddles emerge from their own slumber.
Today, it is 11 degrees with sesame street sunny skies, a medium breeze that continues to encourage jackets, but lighter jackets and a slow shedding of complicated winter layers.
These are the days that remind me of those times when I would skip school for the sake of sunshine and rustling trees.
All I wanted to do today was go home and kiss my wife and take a walk until the sun set down for the evening.
Mornings like today, afternoons like today do everything they can to engender a positive response to our surroundings. More smile, less worry, just happiness at being in a moment that reminds us of being young and reminds us that we still are, that so many more warm sunny days are around the bend.
They call this a false spring. If so, I entreat the lie to hold a little longer, to lie a little more. I wish nothing more than my ignorance in the bliss of this day.
