The weather is absolutely perfect outside. Perfect to whatever variant weather services measure degrees in. The sun is up, the sky is blue, and the temperature is in the 65 degree range. The wind is light. More of a breeze actually. You honestly cannot beat weather like this. It's the type of weather that makes me want to move to San Diego. :-)

Seriously, when I stepped outside today and felt the cool morning air on my face, I couldn't put into words how excited I was that spring had finally arrive. It's like my emotions were getting the better of me, and I couldn't say "wow" without feeling as if my insides wanted to leap out and dance around. Good times.

Spring actually arrived yesterday in all her glory. Mother Nature gave North Texas its first big thunderstorm of the year. Rain was coming in sideways, backwards, upside down, and downward. And typical of spring weather, as quickly as it came, it went. And instead of being hot and muggy for the rest of the afternoon, it was nice and cool. That's probably why I like Spring storms so much. Instead of being hot and muggy afterwards, it's nice and cool. No sign of hot yet. But I can tell that the Texas heat is just waiting for the right day to come on back.

I didn't do much of anything last night. Wait...as I typed that last sentence, I remembered something that I did last night. I'll post about that in a bit. But for most of the evening, all I did was just sit in my apartment reading a book called, "Live from New York." "Live from New York" is a blow by blow account of Saturday Night Live as told by it's stars, writers, producers, network executives, and hosts. It's one of the easiest books I've read in a while. It's the type of book that you could leave by the crapper, to read in 10 minute increments. I'm taking the read it all at one time approach. I think that it's a really good book though. Being a fan of the show, it's really neat seeing how the stars, writers, and producers interact with each other. Good stuff. I'll write more on that when I'm finished with the book. But I will say this, the book is as engaging as the show was at the time they're talking about. Meaning, the book is really engaging when the cast and crew are talking about the good years of the show. But when the mid-80's crew talks about their experiences, I find myself skimming a lot. In my eyes, the best cast I've seen on that show was the late 80's, early 90's crew. The Dana Carvey, Kevin Nealon, Jan Hook, Mike Meyers, Chris Rock, David Spade, Phil Hartman, Nora Dunn, John Lovitz, Victoria Jackson, Adam Sandler, Chris Farley etc cast.

Let's see. Not much else going on here. I'll post about my other fun part of the evening here in a bit.
