short revivals

My first day of 2006 wearing shorts. I found only one pair on the floor of my closet, forgotten and rumpled from the winter.

I always feel a little younger when I wear shorts and a tee shirt.

There's something distinctly refreshing about sleeping with a window open, and waking up to a slight breeze and the sounds of traffic.

When I leapt out of my econ exam this morning at 10:15, the air was so nice I wanted to shout.

If this day were a song, all the static in the world could not keep me from shaking my head and tapping my feet.

umm if you need another pair of shorts, i have this great pair i can patch up and send to ya'...they've got big flowers on them in bright colors. lol, remember those? (they only made my day the last day of project!)

wow, you sure are chipper today. "good day" in the email was a little understated, eh? it's good to know you're doing so well.

I know just what you mean, except my head cold has diminished the joy just a bit. I strolled around the town loop with Oliver yesterday and noticed all kinds of "signs of Spring." Here are a few: man on a ladder outside the Episcopal church applying some fresh paint to the front door; LOTS of people milling around, many just standing on the sidewalk talking; teenage boys on the bench at cannon park shouting stupid stuff (girls across the street on the library steps?); babies in strollers; and even a couple sitting on their front porch watching the world go by. And lots of runners and cyclists in shorts and stretchy tops. Ah, Spring!
