Might this be a bit preemptive? I hope so as I'm not quite ready for Winter to be over. :) Though, this week's warming will be a nice change... is it creating good boating weather? I wouldn't know...

Chuck (may I call you Chuck?), that second stanza is killer, man. The seasons are indeed beautiful unto themselves and they disappear for that reason? A very remarkable interpretation. And it goes on in a temporally relevant way which most of us are probably witnessing right now (I know I am right outside the window), with melted ice running down the street and buildin's needin' fixin'

Who knows, the sun may be shining pretty soon. At least it might on short counselor dudes who know too much. Get me. You're just getting way ahead. No way I can catch up. Another by the way, I missed the Capistrano thing today. Decided to sleep in. Hope you took good notes.
