May...

I know it seems early to focus on this, but today I updated my big board calendar at the back of my room. When I got to the bottom of that five-week-at-a-time bad boy I noticed something DEEEElightful! MAY is at the bottom of that calendar. Not just one or two days of May, but a bonified ENTIRE week! What does this mean to you, my friends? The season for BBQing is upon us? Flowers will soon be blooming? The blizzard that is set to dump 12+ inches of snow on us tomorrow will be just a distant memory? Yes, all these things too, but most of all, it means that soon, very soon, I will have "stay home days" (a phrase made popular by Jake) with my kids, I will no longer be a slave to the bells, bells, bells, bells, and summer with all its freshness, freedom, and frivolity will be upon us. I for one, CANNOT wait!
