The Big Thaw is not here, not today. We had a good start yesterday and the snow is off the police car’s blue flanks, but it lingers elsewhere. It is gray and hovering below freezing, but the happy voices on the radio tell us that we will be up to the sixties by this weekend.

Be still, my heart. Not today, but soon.

Not back in Michigan. By the time the Bay turns up there back into blue water, it might be August. The Webbs of Kalamazoo sent me these three pictures of an outing to the Lake Michigan coast the other day. They make me shiver.

There is a bunch of other stuff to talk about, that thing in the Senate, and the stand off in Crimea, and stalemate about the German family that applied for asylum because they were prohibited from home schooling their kids. The climate thing and all the rest of it is tantalizing, but you know what? It is still too cold.
