Ship's log April 2009

Spring is here at last. We thought winter was never going to end. Unpleasant situations seem to drag on forever, pleasant ones seem to be over in the blink of an eye. This is what Einstein meant by relativity.
I am in mind to write some posts about Spring and the significance of the seasons. Here are a few quotes that translate quite accurately my feelings at this moment:

April hath put a spirit of youth in everything. Shake-speare (De Vere)

Spring shows what God can do with a drab and dirty world. Virgil A. Kraft

The first day of spring was once the time for taking the young virgins into the fields, there in dalliance to set an example in fertility for nature to follow. Now we just set the clocks an hour ahead and change the oil in the crankcase. E.B. White
