Well, you're either a much bigger fan than I am...or you have a very high tolerance to pain.
Today was especially grey, wasn't it? I agree that it will be nice to look outside in a few months and see some colour. That being said, I was in one of our greenhouses this weekend and was surprised to find a few of the newly propagated plants in bloom. It was, as you might imagine, rather pleasant.
Jays games are always fun, and I hope that you'll get to see one. I'm going to try and get out to at least two or three games this year if I can...
