Last night after church I thought I'd turn on the TV to watch the news, since Sunday is "free day" during Lent. After about 2 minutes I was so annoyed by the flashing lights and blather that I had to turn it off. I'd rather get my news online, where my time isn't wasted with weather updates every 5 minutes (note: still warm-ish. stuff melting) or repeated demonstrations of just how stupid it is to drive through a neck-high piece of wire while doing 60 mph on a snowmobile. Seriously, that's all they showed during the few minutes I hoped for a glimpse of the outside world. News anchors doing their best to sound awed and surprised ("Hey Jane, look at that! The wire is embedded in the dummy's neck!") quickly becomes tedious.
The sense of spring has gripped me. I long for that renewal of life to stay.
