More ramblings

 Today is Mardi Gras.  It is also the Lunar New Year (also known as Chinese New Year).  And it is also the start of Ramadan.  Three holidays calculated by the moon.

And in the ethnic salad that is the NYC metropolitan area, I’ve got neighbors celebrating each holiday.

Yes, I called it a “salad”, not a “melting pot”.  We can debate the terms if you like …

I just keep counting down the days until spring.  We got 3 inches of snow Sunday night.  Not a lot, but on top of what we still have from the big storm in January,  three weeks ago, it’s too much. 

But spring training has begun, the first televised game will be Saturday.  Yay! 

It’s 37°F right now … another sign that things are looking up.
