Could this, at long last, be the first March that doesn't suck? A sudden and sustained burst of warm weather has melted almost all of the ice and slush on the street and the temperature looks like it's here to stay. The days are getting brighter and brighter and March is almost 1/3 of the way over.
That's it, I've just ruined March. Tonight it will freeze and ice over and then it will melt, and it will continue to do so until April. I'm sure of it. Why did I have to open my big mouth? You can all blame me. But wait! I didn't open my mouth, I just typed it. I know that the last time I used this logic - the don't write it cause you'll jinx it logic, but say it all you want - but now I'm reversing it. Am I allowed to do this?
Another new item on the plate for 2007. I just shaved a handle bar moustache beard. I am totally straight out of a 70's porn flick or a 2007 NASCAR competition. And the weird thing is, I like it. Also, I shaved it last night, only roughly so that Karoliina could shape it better in the morning. As soon as I did it I thought I confined myself to the house, so as not to be seen with an absolutely crazy beard. So what happens? I get an invitation to go to a birthday party for a cultural center where it would be a bit of a scene. I, of course, would only add to the scene with my Holmesian appearance. And what do you know, people were coming up to me complementing me on the beard. Utterly crazy. When K comes home I'll take a picture and post it for the world to see.
