This morning I tweeted (don't you love using that cool verb?):

A few signs of spring: the crocuses are out, the forsythia is budding, the snow melt is done, and the Nats lost to the Mets yesterday.

Did I leave out anything? A few rituals are impending. Sharpen the lawnmower blade. Prune the deadwood azaleas. Rake last autumn's leaves. Does this sound familiar to you? I'm not complaining, at all. Bring on the sun and its warmth.

On the Book Reading Challenge front, I'm 19/65. Not too shabby, I suppose. Right now I'm halfway done with Julia Spencer-Fleming's ALL MORTAL FLESH. It's an enjoyable read, thus far.

Some plugs...
