Hooray for Spring

Is everyone enjoying March 19th so far? It’s the last day of winter and Mother Nature is proving it. Snow. Lots of snow. It’s still falling too. Hooray. Tomorrow is the first day of Spring. We are going to celebrate by shoveling.

All and all this has been a mild winter. The first snow storm actually happened in the Fall, so that doesn’t count. We didn’t really have to deal with any snowy weather until February. While the over all season hasn’t been too bad, February and March have sucked.

March 2013, in like a lion and out like a bigger, angrier lion.

It’s Cold Out

Just yesterday I wrote something about the imminent arrival of Spring.  This morning the kids and I went outside to the car and the temperature was a balmy 20 degrees Fahrenheit.  Are you freakin’ kidding me?

On Wednesday I mentioned something about my right ear being completely blocked up and therefore just about useless.  Yesterday throughout most of the day the situation was much, much better.  Then I made the mistake of absent mindedly rubbing my ear a little.  Boom, completely blocked again.  It’s still totally closed off.

The Bruins beat the last place Panthers last night.  They managed to not blow a third period lead.  Wonders never cease.  Bad third periods are becoming the norm with this team.  It’s getting worrisome.  They went the whole season last year without losing a game in which they lead after two periods.  This year they’ve blown third period leads in embarrassing fashion a whole bunch of times.  It has to stop if they plan on contending.  Go Bruins.

Almost Here

Spring is so close I can feel it.  It’s almost here.  It is less than a week away.  Next Wednesday, 3/20/13 (or 20/3/13 if you don’t live in the United States.  I’m an international kinda guy, ya know?) marks the start of Spring and more importantly, the end of the friggin’ winter.  I hate winter.  I love Spring.

I am 21 minutes away from starting work for the day and I’m going to be swamped all day.  Add that to the impending Spring kick off and it gets me thinking about weekend get aways.  We are already hoping to go to Quebec on a long trip, and possibly back to San Diego (I’m getting low on vacation time!) but what about quick, relatively local get aways.  That’s what I’m dreaming about this morning.
