Girl: If it's April showers and May flowers and June bugs...What's March?
Miss Plainwell: Death March.
Frazz: You knew training for Boston meant 20-milers in cold rain.
Miss Plainwell: I didn't say death March like it was a bad thing.
Right, there’s the good kind of death march too. I’m looking out the window at trees and wires with 1/4" of ice coating and icicles, so it may not happen in March.
I always heard it was March winds bring April showers. And that May flowers brought June BRIDES….. It’s otherwise incomplete…an odd combination of old sayings.

I did a Death March in Jef last June. My hamstrings will never forget.

Not sure Boston and “death march” and “marathons” are good words to put together anymore…

Thank you for that most pleasant interlude. Have always loved that piece! Truth be told, I love anything by Tchaikovsky.

So she’s saying that a death march can be a GOOD thing??? Being born in March, I resent her remark.
