Winter last year was a Rasputin winter that refused to die.
Instead of repeating myself, I'll just link to my post from last year:

Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Okay, here's the plan: I'll shoot winter in the gut. You poison it. Now we just need a third for the defenestration...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm just glad Tori Hutchenson's cat is ok.

I'll plug it full of arrows as it floats down the Volga.

Oh lord. I got selected to be one of the "cross section of staff" meeting with the visiting committee. I don't know why I volunteered (stupidity) in the first place. COuld be a bad idea all around....

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Run, Mr. Cold Miser, run!

The administration seems to be waving shiny things around again....
Samantha von Sperling, a New York-based image consultant whose customers include politicians, was skeptical. She admires Rice, but finds this all to be a bit "Oprah-esque."
"It just strikes me as, what's the point?" she said. "Why do I need to see her in Spandex? It has nothing to do with the quality of her mind. And if she were a man, they wouldn't have asked her to do the story."
....
For a Bush administration that tries so hard to stay on message, this one is clear: If Rice makes time for exercise as one of the busiest people in the world, so can most anyone.
Huh, and I would have thought the message was "LOOK! A BABY WOLF!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You privledged Americans. I can't be assured of reasonable weather until May.
Neither can we, at least in the northeast. April = cruelest month.
