Spring is (sometimes) here!

The past week has been quite excellent, and here's why:

1. My meanie-faced assistant principal actually (almost sort of) complimented me. He said my class doesn't look as bad as it used to. SHABAM!

2. There's a bar in Brooklyn that has indoor bocce ball. Suhweet!

3. K-Mart at Astor Place SELLS bocce ball sets. And it turns out Morningside Park is an excellent place to play. (Although I maintain that Rome's Circo Massimo has to be the best place on earth for the bocce.)

4. Two more school days until Spring Break. Alabama, here I come! (Never though I would say that.)

5. It's kind of almost feeling like spring. In between days of downpour and chills, there have been several absolutely beautiful, mid-50s days, perfect for bocce, parks and even a little outdoor napping.



Spring is almost sprung!


Morningside Park from atop the hill near Columbia University. That grassy area is where Dakota and I played a rigorous game of Bocce. (I won, by the way! Not that that is what is important ... )
