I resisted MySpace, and resisted Facebook for a long time. I've been a member of LouisvilleMojo.com, a local social networking site, for nearly as long as I've been here in Louisville; but it's local.
But last week it came out that, with the drop in revenues from the recession, they were converting the site into a paid-only dating site. I reckon that's about the end of what interest I took in the place. So I finally knuckled in and made a Facebook account last Wednesday, April 14.
O well.

Spring 26: Green has returned
Today is the 26th day of Spring. Things move quickly at this time of year.
I saw my first daffodil in full flower on the 89th day of winter, the Friday that was the day before the equinox. In another day or two, the daffodils were in full flower.
Next was the yellow-flowered forsythia, and the purple saucer and white star magnolias came into full bloom. Then the Bradford pears burst into flower. By now, nearly all the trees are well into leafing out: from the bleak frozen winter of a month ago, everything is transformed. The tree pollen is really bothering my allergies, but the streets are nice and shady.
Last Sunday, I figured out how to hook up our bike trailer, and took the boy out for his first bike ride in Central Park. It was a good idea to take short ride; he still has a little getting-used-to-this to do.

I'm a runner
Today is my birthday. I am now 30.
I'm at home watching the horseraces on TV; I have a growler of BBC American Pale Ale, some Ommegang Rare Vos, and my wife is bringing home Mexican food for dinner (I associate Mexican food with horseraces for some reason; I think its coz of Sante Fe Cafe around the corner from Churchill Downs). My sister and maybe some friends are coming over later, we're gonne watch "Logan's Run" and "The Wicker Man" after the Oaks.
That's the way for a great birthday.

First Day of Spring 2009
Well, tonight I'm getting married.
March 20 was the Vernal Equinox. I wanted to do it yesterday, but Saturday is more convenient.
