Previous celebrations: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Spring happens this month. Baseball happens this month. Plants will poke their heads out of the ground. I might even BBQ. March good. The bad months are past. Woot.
These Too Be Sun Worshipers Update: While one may quibble as to the point, UMPI plays ball:

With their campus 400 miles north of Boston, the Owls have not played a home baseball game since 2005, when there were two. “You can either complain that the baseball field is buried under six feet of snow, or you drive to where you can play baseball,” said Tyler Delaney, a junior infielder. “We don’t complain.

OH THANK GOD.
This winter has completely sucked.
Bring on the spring! Where if things suck, you can always go outside and that makes things suck much less!

The sun is up in Edmonton early enough to raise the tempurature to -16. March is the time of year when Oilers fans start the heavy drinking, remembering the glory days...

Twas -10 and sunny in my necko' the woods yesterday. Tooks kids in the woods for a couple of hours and when we got home, they decided to play in the yard for another hour. Last time I remember them voluntarily going outside was, oh, early december.
