ephemerides

Despite the moderate snow that fell earlier this morning, March is starting to organize itself, speeding disorderly towards the beauty of spring. It’s still a bit sketchy for now, but the small earthquake felt on Quebec and the US border last night should help set things back in place.

This weekend I attended a show from the “Under the snow” festival, The brotherkites. My ears still hurt a bit… They had 3 guitars on heavy reverb, and quite catchy songs. I feel well-rested (dreamed I was climbing up a mountain! ah) and now have a whole day ahead of quiet…It is a good day for reading, and bringing water to boil, and not much besides this. Well one could also prune trees, I guess. But just reading is fine.

When I was a kid I loved quiet sundays spent with sweepstakes mailings, also the Guiness book of Records, the TV Guide, etc. I was made fun of for reading instruction booklets, too. That was before the Internet. One thing I especially enjoyed was The People’s Almanac, with something new to ponder upon for every day. So here is a page for March, which you might want to refer back to occasionally.
