Good news: Spring’s in the air. Of course, we know this to be the case by the following telltale signs:
a) The sky has decided to turn from a dullish grey to an unenthusiastic silver.
b) The grass, long dead, is beginning to show some signs of life (though, to be honest, it’s still a touchy situation. In fact, one leading doctor surmised the situation by saying, “we’re not out of the woods yet. Yep, we’ll continue to monitor the situation. That’ll be $200, please.”)
c) 
In case you’re wondering, yes, that’s real honest-to-goodness hail. On March 29, 2009. I guess that old proverb is true: March goes in like a lion and out like a depraved convict named Butch who insists on giving all new inmates a proper welcome.
