Boston is an amusing place. I imagine places like Minnesota and North Dakota experience the same sort of phenomenon that we experience here. The first days when it's warmer than 30 degrees, people are busting loose like it's the fourth of July. Women shed about four layers and expose bare (gasp ... I haven't seen those in months!) legs, men rock the t-shirts. I, unfortunately, tend to be one of those people (no, I do not expose bare legs. Even if I did, they're so damn hairy you can't really call them "bare" per se). This week was unseasonably warm. Tuesday it was (supposedly) 70 degrees. Having seen the weather report that morning, I thought that wonderful 70 was actually 54. So the next day when I saw the weather report predicting 57 degrees, I thought to myself "Hot damn, it's a t-shirt day!"
Regrettably, it was not a t-shirt day.
Though it may have been 57 degrees after all, I have never felt colder as I walked t-shirted and jacketless with Kristin to the grocery store. Curse you John Hancock building and your wind-tunnel effect!
In other news, you can see the site has changed for the advent of "spring." I'll be removing the FizBox comments engine soon as no one really uses it and it is unreliable and stupid. I also want to work on an RSS feed so people don't have to visit my site manually and they can just use their aggregator. That'll probably be part of when I move over to Moveable Type (a blogging tool).
Got a few rants in the works, but nothing yet. Stay tuned!
