So the sun’s shining today and the skies are clear. If this was back home, I’d be saying that the temperature reached double-digits today; that doesn’t make so much sense where I am, but it’s true nonetheless.
I’ve been getting a lot of people asking me if I’m doing anything special for Easter. This is, to me, something of an odd question: not just because I live a predominantly secular life (which my interlocutors may well not know), but also because I’d never realised that Easter as such is a big deal to your average American. The vibe I’m getting is that it’s a good time to be with family, but (and in sharp contrast to my homeland) it’s not like we get any extra time off around Easter to go visiting. Since I have no immediate family within about a thousand kilometers, no extra time essentially means no family time.
Some w00tastic news from ecogrrl today; that’s one more of my close friends on track to prepend “Dr.” to their name. For the rest of y’all: what are you waiting for?
