!!!!!hell yes it's march!!!!

my birthday is in april so I appreciate March as the leadup

also daylight savings starts in a couple of weeks, and I'm excited to resume my evening walks after work

it's pretty delightful all round. I say yes to MARZO

march in 26 different languages if you please

Is that a book you own, LL? It looks delightful!

it is!

you can get it used for 1¢ + shipping! (i got mine years ago at that huge book sale that used to be in the parking lot of the mall just north of here...the old brandeis book sale before they changed hands and started to kind of suck)

wow that's a cool book to have in your arsenal

I want that book.

it's super available, apparently. i've always been guarding it like some kind of precious jewel but it doesn't seem to be rare at all.

MARCH

i just spent two hours walking outside and tbrr shit was pretty grim, but that didn't stop it from being march

Yeah , it's shitty outside today. Still, we March on.

so glad Feb is over, i was sick like dog all month

bring on the Ides, I say

Never been a fan of march, even less so now it brings me to 40 years of age.
10 years ago, it was amazing, now, not so much.

march is okay, but it inevitably leads to july

I really want to believe that March can't possibly be any worse than the three months that preceded it. I really, really want to believe that.

First journey home from work in actual daylight is always a good moment for me

Yes! My first day leaving work at 6 after the time change is always the best.

march is okay, but it inevitably leads to july

This is why it is awesome!!!

The ice cream stands I pass on my drive home have OPENING DAY signs up but I couldn't catch what day it is.

first half of MARZO in hospital blahhhh, but perhaps get most of my normal life back in 3 months, so.

That sounds like good news in the long-term. Best wishes, Morbz.

This is why it is awesome!!!

when i was a kid, my mom sewed me a pooh and a piglet and a kanga with a pouch that roo fit inside

curiously, she did not make me an eeyore

aw cuet

when i was a kid, my brother was christopher robin, my sister was piglet, my other sister was tigger, and i was eeyore.

i did double duty as oscar the grouch.

I had a Miss Piggy swimsuit.

Yeah, give me July and August anytime. March is a stepping stone to those. PS I am drunk.

lousy smarch weather

I had a hand me down Wonder Woman bathing suit.

I got a brand new key. Call me maybe?

I was Laurel AND Hardy for Halloween once

I hated March growing up because in upstate NY it was pretty much just gray, muddy, icy, slush, punctuated by the occasional blizzard. March in East Tennessee is a whole other thing, there's usually a point during the month where suddenly everything blooms in about 3 days and it's 70 and sunny. We get some more dreary weather into April, but still, it's generally beautiful. It hasn't started well this year -- 35 and gray today -- but forecast says 66 by next weekend, so here's hoping.

breaking 50 today although the air quality is not so good.

at least it's sunny and not freezing.

WIndows open! Taking the trash out in shirtsleeves!

Walked the dog without her little sweater!

25 degrees and snow flurries in Cleveland. Lousy Smarch weather, indeed.

april in cleveland is no picnic either

neither is august, fwiw

there are no picnics in cleveland, at all

May in NEOH is heavenly. The metroparks, the blooming of the valley, it's great.

And I can't see/feel/smell May yet at all, but it's getting cloooooooser.

LL, going to have another May Day celebration? I liked it last year but it was too cold.

Only marginally less odd that it comes from the name of the Roman god of war! Winter's over lads, get back to it

It's not like many of them make much sense. February is just a weird word altogether, while September, October, November and December are based on the Latin for seven, eight, nine and ten, respectively. All very plainspoken and orderly you might think. But they're months 9 through 12.

The numerical discrepancy is because the calendar ours is based on originally only had ten months in it so when they inserted two new ones it got all messed up. Why did they add them at beginning and mess up the count? They didn't! Originally New Year's Day was March 1st and January and February were at the end of the year.

xp - half a century old and as fresh as ever!

definitely getting the 'in like a lion' treatment here in northern california

SoCal, too!

calm down march jeez

Two weeks till my Montanaversary — on March 15, 2023, my wife and I got on a plane from Newark to Kalispell (via Salt Lake City). Can't believe it's been a whole year. We fucking love it so much here, too.
