So much for February

I should be getting ready for work, but there is nothing like some last minute procrastination.

It's going to get up to 44 today, which makes it seem like spring is around the corner. Personally, I can't wait. Anyone who knows me, knows I love the wintertime. Mostly the snow in wintertime, but there is nothing like a string of grey, 28 degree days with no snow to really make a person wish for springtime.

Among other things, here is a list of things spring related that I can't wait for:

Not having to wear 4 layers of clothing, plus a coat, hat, scarf and gloves on a daily basis, one great thing about summer is you can leave the house without a coat and be fine for the whole day.

Longer days. I like having more daytime, and being able to take the dog to the run after work because it will be light out until at least 9:00. More sunlight = more time to do stuff.

More stuff to do. New York is a good city to be in during the summer. After the long winter hibernation, everyone is ready to go outside and enjoy it. One thing about living in a large city is that everyone goes outside and spends time either on the street or in the local parks. It's not like living in the suburbs where everyone has a spacious back yard to spend time in. Plus, during the summer there are more free concerts and events to go to.

Riding my bike. Warm weather + more daytime = more time to ride around the neighborhood.

That's it for now.

I'm going to go to work and pretend that the 44 degree weather is about 10 degrees warmer.

Glad to see you are back. I've not made any posts to my blog either, at least not since Hunter Thompson died last month. It's not that nothing has happened, but seems like nothing very interesting, but maybe thats not the point...makes me appreciate even more the newspaper columnists who must produce a piece for the newspaper whether they want to or not.
