Have you been outside lately? It is absolutely gorgeous. After the long winter we are finally enjoying the kind of weather which makes you think, "You know what? Yes, life is full of worry and suffering and existential dread. Only a fool would expect otherwise. But just because the human condition is geared toward sorrow and discomfort does not mean that I need to accept that as the sum total of my experience. From now on I am going to enjoy the happy moments as much as possible and do my best to make it through the less cheerful times comforted by the knowledge that a day like today is always just around the corner." Even better, this is the kind of resolution that nobody expects you to stick to, particularly since it looks like, starting Thursday, we are scheduled for ten solid days of rain. Get out there and smile while you still can, because come the middle of next week we're all going to be the same irascible cunts we've been since Thanksgiving.
