And work has left. Enjoy the weekend!
Windows are thrown open, Cindy’s is finally freed from her wintertime shutters, birds are singing, worms are…worming. Spring has come, and I can’t write. I should have known better than try to work on the vernal equinox, when the stars align in such a way even Google taunts me with a flowery doodle. Temptation toward frivolity is everywhere: the “largest Italian ice concept in the nation” is giving away free treats, Baltimore is imitating San Diego, the Orioles are…Orioling. These days were not meant for writing. I went to college in Worcester, MA, not a town known for its warm citizenry or temperature. The College of the Holy Cross is literally sited high on a hill, rather grandiosely known as Mount St. James, that attracts every errant …

Patch asks, what do you enjoy most about the first warm days of 2012?
The greater Baltimore-Washington area normally sees highs for mid-March in in the lower 50s, according to the National Weather Service. March 12 through 14 actually marks the 19th anniversary of the "Super Storm of 1993" which, according to NWS, brought several feet of snow to much of the eastern United States, while closing every major airport on the East Coast for at least some time. But that was just a dim memory Wednesday. Kings Contrivance was full of roaming patrons, and Columbia resident Bryan Eber told Patch that he enjoys sitting outside on a bench, with a coffee and a new book on his Kindle. What do you love most about the return of warm weather?
