Spring Fever

Man, is it ever nice outside! Sunny and 12 degrees C. Beautiful. Time to get a new pair of running shoes, make sure all the bicycles are ready to go, and time to think about yard chores. The smell of fresh-mown lawn is just around the corner. Of course I'm forgetting about insects, sweating excessively, mowing and pool maintenance. I'm also choosing to ignore the fact that we usually get measurable snow in the first week of April. Ignorance is bliss.

Anyway, don't forget to Spring Ahead 1 hour this weekend, and if you're in downtown Windsor at around 1:00 p.m. on April 10, look up for the fly-by of fighter jets heading to Comerica Park in time for the first pitch at the Tiger's home opener!

March Break

Back from a March Break getaway. First we visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, OH. Both the Hall and city were better than I expected. I recommend both. Then a couple of days in Hershey, PA. A longer drive than expected, but an interesting place to visit. Just the smell at the corner of Chocolate St. and Cocoa Ave. was worth the drive. As always "Take the trolley tour first". We learned a lot about the town, the history, the factory, etc just by sitting on a bus and being escorted around. It put the rest of the visit in perspective. Finally, Niagara Falls, ON. If you've ever been there you'll be glad to know that nothing's changed except that there's a huge casino, more monster hotels and everything costs about 10 times what you'd pay anywhere else. I can't imagine ever going back there again. Oh by the way, the Falls are lovely.
