Impending

I can't wait for the weekend. It's warm here today, nearing the positive side of the Celsius scale, and that puts me in the mind for being outside, for acquiring comics and, oddly enough, for watching the run-off draining from the road and streets as everything becomes incredibly dirty. Spring is still a ways off, but I can't help feeling a little giddy about it's immanent approach. Already the days are noticeably longer. Already I'm starting a bit of spring cleaning.

This time of year takes me back to my early teens; walking downtown in Edson, touring through the drugstore and the bookstore, picking up as many comics as I could. There was a kind of energy about springtime then, a youthfulness, a want to explore, to be outside. I still get that every year. For some reason though, the last couple of years I have it in January.

My trips are booked this year. Diane and I are off to Vegas at the end of march for the weekend. We're going on a little trip, somewhere warm to relax for a few days. Then we're off to Iceland for the end of May. I have almost everything lined up for that trip. I want to get a new digital camera for the trip, but I might just borrow Billy's again. It's going to be an expensive trip as it is.

What else....? Oh, I found this cool blog about comics by a comic store guy, for comics readers. Beauty.
