Day 3 - 80 -- Sunny start to Spring

Spring has arrived -- at least on the calendar. The ground outside my window is muddy with bits of snow cover in places. The weather prognosticators tell of a nor'easter headed this way for tomorrow. There will be snow, ice pellets and rain but how much and exactly which types of precipitation will fall where seems unclear at this point. The television weather has already moved along to 'the next one' which will arrive Friday or Saturday -- 5 or 6 days from now. Again, this far out it is unclear what the impact will be locally.

Today, though, was sunny and reasonably pleasant with very little wind even. I ran out for groceries and a few other stops. One of these included heading to the campus library to retrieve the flash drive I'd left in the iMac last night instead of taking it home with me. I'd needed to print speaking notes for the banquet last night. Luckily, the drive was still lodged in the USB port and had remained undisturbed since suppertime yesterday. I was pleased that this drive did not contain anything confidential. Feeling a bit thick-headed today -- tired, stuffy head, barky cough. Each of these should pass with time.

A song about the sunny start to spring seemed apropos today. This one came to mind. Enjoy!
