April glee

It's sunny and warm and it was yesterday and the day before and it won't be tomorrow. "Enjoy it while you can!" is the motto of the day. Yesterday, for the last test of the day, we had 16 people signed up, and 5 actually showed up. Five men wh had been laid off and needed that GED to apply for jobs so they could support their families. Anyone who did not have someone else's well-being dependent on them was out farting aaround in the sunshine. God knows I would have done so if I could. Walking around campus is almost Felliniesque, what with young Goths stricken with spring and courting amid the blossoming bushes. And grown men shedding their suit coats and sprawling in the grass. And co-workers who have been swathed chin to toes all winter long, suddenly displaying unimagined tattoos on newly bared arms and legs.

I've been remiss on my memes. Crafty time. The first five people to respond will get a gift made by me expressly for them. It may be a tin of cookies or a mohair peterheater or an embroidered dishtowel. Within a year.
