Warmth at Last

Spring is a-coomin' in! I was driving down the road and realized that the sidewalk was heavily laden with people. Everyone was emerging from their bunkers, where they had hunkered all winter (hunker bunkers - keep it in mind for the next game of hink pink), to enjoy the long-delinquent outdoors. I began noticing strangers smiling at me. Since I wasn't wearing my hair in any extraordinary way or anything, I concluded that they were just happy because it was warm. Indeed, the exchanged grins seemed to be a part of a New England wide conspiracy. We have survived the winter, and we can now enjoy the spring in a way no one else can. Good job, my fellow New Englanders! We have made it through yet again, with that much added character, and that much greater reason to rejoice in the sunshine.
