Sunday Thoughts

Spring appears to be slowly arriving here, but it's still a bit cool outside. Took a walk earlier, sat for a bit in a nearby park, enroute to the grocery store. While sitting there glancing through a magazine I happened to look up as two young men were walking past. I noticed them because one of them was carrying a Didgeridoo, an Australian Aborigine musical instrument. I love the sounds of the didgeridoo and have even considered buying one.

But that was not the only thing that caught my attention. As the guys passed by, I noticed they were holding hands....and I thought to myself....awww....Spring is in the air and Love is blooming. Now this may not seem like a big deal, but I don't think I've ever seen two guys walking here in Albany, holding hands. Except maybe at a Gay Pride event or function. 'Course, I admit I don't get around much, but it just pleased me to see this display of affection.

Now, if the trees, which still look like this:



would sprout some beautiful green leaves, it would definitely look and feel more like Spring had arrived!

On a related note--it's Spring Break week at the college I work at so I've got this whole week off--Yaaay! I can stay home and play ALL day if I want! Or go out and enjoy some of the nice weather we're supposed to have this week.
