THURSDAY WAS A NICE EARLY START TO SPRING WITH TEMPERATURES WELL INTO THE 60'S. FRIDAY WAS THE NASTIEST MIX OF SNOW, SLEET, HAIL, AND RAIN THAT WE'VE HAD ALL YEAR. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THE SAINT PATRICK'S PARADE IN THE CITY - BUT INSTEAD OF SPENDING THE DAY SHOVELING POTATOES INTO MY FACE, I SPENT IT SHOVELING BIG BLOCKS OF ICEY SNOW OFF MY SIDEWALK, AND ONTO MY NEIGHBOR'S. INSTEAD OF SINGING ABOUT THE EVILS OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE, I WAS LEFT SINGING SOME GOOD OLD SOUTHERN SPIRITUALS TO HELP GET ME THROUGH IT ALL.
SO THIS WEDNESDAY I'M OFF TO JAPAN FOR CHERRY BLOSSOM SEASON (IN THE HOPES THAT THEIR MOTHER NATURE IS SLIGHTLY LESS RETARDED THAN THE CRAZY OL' BROAD WE'RE STUCK WITH HERE). AS SUCH, I DON'T IMAGINE THERE'LL BE ANY NEW POSTS UNTIL I GET BACK TO DA STATES. IN THE MEANTIME, HERE'S SOME CRAP TO REMIND YOU WHAT SPRING MIGHT BE LIKE... SOMEDAY...
TODAY I LIKE: GETTING THE HELL OUT OF THIS COUNTRY
TODAY I DISLIKE: CARRY-ON LUGGAGE RESTRICTIONS
