A cold Spring day

Today is the first day of Spring, the Vernal Equinox. And as luck would have it, it’s *cold* in Louisville. Damp and cold, around 39 degrees F, decidedly uncomfortable. Tonight will be the low, and a few days after that it should warm up respectable Spring temperatures. I just hope it doesn’t kill all the flowering trees/plants in the meantime.

The cold bothers me a lot more than it used to. I was previously built like a walrus, with plenty of insulation on me. Now I’m not, and the cold soaks right through to my bones. I guess that’s why all those New York folks moved to Florida as they got older (and skinnier). I have a new respect for body fat, and I kinda miss having it. I’m playing in a golf tourney tomorrow, and I’ll have to dress like I’m in Antarctica. That won’t help the golf swing.

Spending most of today inside, hanging pictures from Keepsake and reading. Could be worse.
