It’s cold but good out there, people, don’t be fooled by those lying little shoots of green and spring colors in the shop windows. Spring is never coming, no matter how many brightly-colored new shirts I buy.
I’ve been namby-pambying back and forth over whether we should get the NY Times Weekend delivered. One the one hand, I love cozying up with Week in Review. On the other hand, wow, that’s a lot of dead trees!
Walking in our park (yes it is ours, you may walk in it if you’d like) I looked at our beautiful multi-borough view and LO! There was a giant yellow and blue thing squatting in Red Hook. Brooklyn IKEA! Verily, have you come to pass? Will I be able to resist your siren call much longer? Especially when I’ve got stewardship of my mom’s car in May? Magic 8 Ball says no.
Things that are righteous awesome: chili night, library books, being twenty pounds lighter, Nano growling at himself during solo tug-of-war, spring trips, checking off to-do lists.
Things that should man up: spring, our television and its mysterious turny-offy disease, mealy apples, ABC spring programming already.
