Happy Spring

Today is the first day in about 2 weeks that I wore socks and shoes to work. This does not mean I have been going barefoot, although that would be nice (if the ground wasn't so dirty). It's just that I have been basking in summer caliber sun and the luxury of daily flip-flop wearing. But the weather is beginning to turn gray again, so it's back to socks and shoes--and jackets!--for awhile. Is it just me, or is that a little ironic?

I was up in South Lake Tahoe this weekend. It was quite warm and sunny, but there was plenty of residual snow on the ground. It was a bit surreal to see teenagers snowboarding down the hill at Reagan Beach in short sleeves, or no shirts at all. I got my socks wet. I didn't like that.
