It is 48 degrees today and...

I couldn't be more excited!  This extended weekend has been the goal to get to since the beginning of the semester, a short vacation from the world of 9 A.M classes and evening cramming sessions.  What better way to kick off such a break than with an unseasonably warm day?  There are few things more enjoyable than that first long walk of the year, before all the snow has really melted, when you can be comfortable in no more layers than a tee shirt and hoodie; the fact that such a day came this early in the year seems nothing short of a miracle right now!
