    Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it.

    So the lesson was about weather and similes.

    And for the first time, she inspired massive enthusiasm……then destroyed it.

    Where I grew up, this was often quite true, with snow in early March, and Spring-like weather by the end of the month. I wonder if this was a common saying for those who were raised in the more temperate parts of the country like SoCAL or FLA?

    Finally, a guest stripper who managed to capture at least a little of Thompson’s magic. Still, I think I’d rather see reruns of reruns than these reruns of subs.

    Chicagoland has begun The Week Winter Returned. Spring resumes next weekend, according to the weather prophets….

    It is amusing how the Blisshaven pre-schoolers have prodigious vocabularies one day yet don’t understand simple colloquialisms the next….

    Never had heard that saying, not being English my first language, until a couple of months ago when started seeing an anime called " March comes like a lion", about a young profesional shogi player and his existential troubles. Quite good actually.I knew “Febrero loco, y Marzo otro poco” : “February crazy, and March a little more of the same”
