I typically post something weird for April Fools, but this year, I’m simply not feeling cynical enough.

A week ago? Sure. But not today.

You know something’s turned a corner when you walk out onto your newly snow-and-ice-free deck, and for the first time this year, you hear the Wonderdog’s tail thumping on the worn wood.

He’s laid out in the warm sun splashing the far corner of the deck, and if you’ve been waiting for a sign of spring as long as I have, it’s a sound that makes the hairs on your neck stand up.

Later, Little M and Mimi (grandma) were laying on their backs (sans jackets) waving at the airplanes flying overhead in the clear blue sky, and…

Little M chasing airplanes

Little M and Mimi waving at airplanes...

In other words, when Mother Nature gives you a springtime gimme on April 1, only a fool would screw with it by mucking about with people’s brains (next year, all bets are off).

It’s also zero day for the new website buildout, and so far, the move is going perfectly, the site will go live this weekend, and we’ll launch it next week, so there’s a very, very happy client on the other end of the Intertubes today.

It’s enough to make me want to rush out and buy two lottery tickets (when you’re feeling this lucky, why waste it on one fortune?).

In fact, I’m picking up my new netbook and going outside to work in the spring weather.

See you in the sunshine, Tom Chandler.
