Summer is over.

I was walking to work on Tuesday this week, when I got the news that summer is officially over:

That's the fountain on Library Mall, closed up for the winter. It's always a sad day for me to see it shut down; the sight is a brutal reminder of how depressing Wisconsin winter can be.

Ah, well. Bring on the broomball games!

Snow

I, for one, am sick of winter and all that comes with it. My skis are still in the garage in Monroe, and broomball is fun - but my fingers almost froze off last time.

Weather.com is telling me that there will be snow once again, and I don't like it. Even if it is just a little bit of powder, I have officially passed into February Crankypants Mode. The only thing keeping me from full-blown Curmodgeon Status is this comic teaching you how to read tracks (from XKCD).

I just bought eight Cubs tickets, so there's a bit of a mental disconnect for me when I look outside and see snow everywhere.

Dear Spring,
Please hurry up and get here already.
Love,
Jeff
