The Truth of Minnesota
Driving to work this morning one of the inspirational thoughts for the day was on a sign-board. What better thing to be reminded of when we are finally seeing more winter-like temperatures.

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
--George Santayana US (Spanish-born) philosopher (1863 - 1952)

But I have to admit that there are days when I look forward to the hopeless love of spring.
