Bring the Spring...please?

This winter thing is driving me nuts. I really have no tolerance for the cold weather of Connecticut once I get the taste for my favorite sport. I am, after all, a Yankee fan and after last weeks big trade that brought us one big name pitcher, (we also signed another) which filled the biggest hole of last seasons short playoff run. Add this with the fact that "pitchers and catchers" report in less than a month and...well....come on SPRING!

I have to admit though, that first snow of the new year that came this morning was a blast. I went sledding with my son and laughed with him more than I have in the past 5 years of his existence. The day started with pancakes and lounging and ended (after sledding) with popcorn and movies by the fire so, saying that winter is rough in Connecticut is...well, what you make of it I guess? Although, this is the 3rd time I am watching "Rio"..so does that count as suffering?

All in all, I am a big believer in life being what you make of it...but I can't make flowers, grass and warm weather so I am going to do what all New Englander's do this time of the year...beg/pray??

Please Lord, bring the spring!!
