Spring is Here

The Foster City condos on Hillsdale Ave., from across the San Mateo lagoon

It's cold, 45 degrees in the Bay Area as Easterners scoff, but the sky is blue, and the sun is out.

Spring is here, literally and metaphorically. Traffic is picking up, and the children have started attending classes again.

The older folks will complete the vaccination regimen this month, while the younger members of the family will start theirs.

Fruit and oatmeal this morning, or should I get doughnuts and coffee with extra shots of caffeine like in the old days?

You don't have to ask twice.

All those days in the sun
What I'd give to relive just one
Undo what's done
And bring back the light

Days in the sun will return
We must believe as lovers do
That days in the sun
Will come shining through.
