Hello Sunshine
Last week, that was just the name of a really great song. This week, it is a legitimate Tuesday morning greeting, and Girl-E could not be happier. That seasonal affective shit is no joke-- the difference between the wet gloom and today's brilliant blue sky is at least 3.2 points on the L. Ron Hubbard Emotional Range Scale (we only know what that is because Girl-E recently found herself in the captive audience of Scientologists. No one should trust people that content). It's hard to complain about the age of your work facilities when your large woodworked window looks out on a green college courtyard rimmed with oaks and redbrick, white columned buildings. It's somewhat easier to complain when there's only one bathroom on the floor.
This change of seasons (and we mean real change, not that fraudulent farce that happened on March 21st) practically decrees to embrace the heathen in us all. For example, Girl-E was reading her grandfather's book on Quaker philosophy, and yesterday traded it out for Valley of the Dolls. Last night, nothing seemed more natural in the world for a Monday than to be sitting in a dark club at midnight listening to local musicians play like school kids with the perfect toys of vocal jazz standards. Today she's seriously considering having ice cream for lunch. Hell, maybe she'll pick someone off the street and buy them ice cream for lunch. Anything can happen when you leave your jacket at home.

You suck.
That sounds way better than a roomfull of drunken Dylan impersonators and celtic (the musical genre...not the basketball team) fans.
But I'm totally with you on the weather thing.

I would wager it was also way better than a roomfull of Celtic (the basketball team... not the musical genre) fans.

I don't know...those "DE-FENSE! (thump thump) DE-FENSE! (thump thump)" chants can be pretty kickass.

Or you could combine the genres and hear "DE-FENSE! [sound of Irish step-dancing] DE-FENSE! [sound of Irish step-dancing]".
I'd totally watch that.
