Spring fever

First glorious day of the year here in NYC.  All of the office buildings in midtown, which stay stuffed to the gills in bad weather, empty out at midday.  People sitting wherever they can park themselves for ten minutes, half an hour, eating sandwiches, sucking on Starbucks, basking...for just a bit, till they have to go back inside.  And everyone going back inside with the same gloomy face.  It's so sad, really.  One of my colleagues suggested calling it a day at about 2:00.  Who could blame her? 

We celebrated with frozen yogurt.  I overheard someone say, "Oh, shit, the nice weather's here.  I have ten minutes to lose twenty pounds!"
