SPRING AHEAD!

And don’t fall back. It seems a long time coming.

Step outside and take one deep breath. You can

almost sense, despite a slight whisper of coolness

spring is not far off.

        It’s been a lousy winter for snow. One early

couple of inches of the white stuff and that was it.

        Friends, even a wife, tells me it’s only mid-

March. Winter is far from over.

Writer’s comment: I tend to look on the bright

side. Even at the worst of times. And when it is

the worst of times, I shrug it off. Don’t we all do

 that? Or is it just me?
