Requiem for an Ugly Winter

Okay, I'm guessing we all know how to do it, but let's walk through the process just in case: put your thumbs in your ears, fully extend your fingers, pinch your eyes shut, wrinkle your nose and blow a raspberry with such slobbery force that a little air escapes from the nether region. So long, old man winter!

I have to say, I'm looking forward to a few things as spring arrives, like:

Being able to ride a bicycle without studded tires

Streets of normal width, allowing parked cars out of the lane of traffic

An outdoors with green stuff

Coats, hats and mittens that rest politely in the closet

Wearing only one pair of underwear and socks at a time (dare to dream)

Happy First Day of Spring!
