Ode to April

Jellyfish/Space Invader V.1

April, as I see it, is a heck of a lot better than March. March in New England, has to be one of the most schizophrenic months as far as weather is concerned. The days go something like this: snow storm, rain, brief period of sun, week of overcast clouds, fog, rain, snow storm, cloudy, snow flurries, etc...

April, however, makes it almost worth the wait. First there's turning the clock back to get another few precious hours of daylight. Then there's the start of the baseball season (although this year's start was, as predicted, yucko), and things are starting to warm up. No more piles of black snow to get your car stuck in, lots of water running on the ground everywhere, crocuses and tulips and starting to sprout...and the hashing is better than ever. Tons of mud to get a sneaker stuck in (and all over yourself), lots of high rivers to cross, and the occasional torrential rain storm to really kick it into high gear. The guys in RIH3 are loving it, as am I.
