Looking for Spring

While the last few weeks have been dreadful, pouring rain, chilly nights, a freak snowstorm or two, it seems that just this weekend, spring decided to smile on New York.

I can happily report that young kids all over Brooklyn are sore and sun burnt from playing baseball games all weekend, blooms have popped from previously gray tree limbs, BBQ's are still smoking from weekend gatherings, and I'm sporting a "healthy" glow from the sun after a perfect Sunday afternoon lying in the grass half cheering on the aforementioned baseball stars-to-be.

Of course, now I'm in an office taking a moment to type this up for all of you to read, imagine, enjoy. I'd really rather be outside. But, being the prepared, intelligent perfect creature that I am, I arrived to work earlier than usual this morning to allow for an early escape this evening where I will jog around the park then plant myself under a large, blooming tree until the sun decides it's time to go home.
