The Sun is slowly coming back to us. Here it is 5:50 pm and as I stare out of my window at work the Sun is still hanging on. This weekend we will swing time back an hour and there will be Sun at 7pm..... The night gets a touch smaller from this point on. The wind stirs the spirit and we feel better after the long freeze. The Springtime mud and grey is on us now. Old gray mountains of dirty snow still hide where the Sun can't touch them, but for the most part its done......I am beginning to feel better in my old bones. My left arm is slowly healing from a torn ligament (or pulled). It still hurts is I grab something with an open hand. If I reach for the top of a cup of coffee it hurts.
My bicycle is ready to turn its first mile in 2009 and with some luck and will power I will be able to rack up 250 miles - 300 miles this year. While not a world record by any stretch of the imagination its the most I have done in a long long time. I am rigging a 12 volt light system to be seen in the dark.
My kids are ready to break out the kites. This year I think they are ready for them....My dad and I used to fly kites together. Its one of the only good times I remember with my dad as a kid. No worries or yelling; just the wind , my dad and the kite...The park has long since closed but if I can look in to the sky and think really hard I can sometime see my dads old kite.
OK kids, thats about it for now.....peace.
