The light joyousness of spring...

Spring has sprung in earnest here, with daytime highs in the mid-teens and bright blue skies. We are enjoying a Thursday off work, as Koreans celebrate the anniversary of the reading of their Declaration of Independence from Japanese colonialism. This morning we marked this special day in our own way, with a sleep-in, a long run, some coffee and a newspaper. This afternoon we will honour the occasion as the ancients would have done, with a trip to Costco to buy Raisin Bran, feta cheese, and a few slices of pizza.
