Friday fun - March 9th

At last, Friday is here. For most of you, it's the end of the work week. Alas, I work every Saturday, but such is the lot of the retail service industry. Still, I enjoy the vibe of a Friday as much as any clockwatcher praying for beer-o'clock.

How about a little word association exercise, today? The arrival of meteorological spring is still 11 days away, but we can still play this game:

Finish this sentence: "If it's spring,....."

I'm looking for such replies as, "..then (fill in player's name) is injured again." Or, "..then the Nats must be in last place already."

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Don't forget that our friends in Congress did us all a swell favor by moving up Daylight Savings Time by a few weeks (as an energy-saving move), so it will kick in this Sunday, March 11th. Move your clocks FORWARD one hour.
