Signs of Spring … Really?

Last week we had a 40-hour heat wave across Eastern Canada. Heat wave in March?
Yep; high temperature records for March -- and even April -- were being broken by as much as 20 Celsius degrees!!! It was back to seasonable temps by Friday, and it's featuring snow squalls and gales right now. We've had one of the least-wild winters in many generations.

Dear Reader, can you say: "Climate change?"
I present some of my favourite 'signs of spring.'
-- Let's begin with the famous line: "In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," from the poem, 'Locksley Hall,' by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Love to read all those rhyming couplets!

The Wonder of the iPod Touch

I've joined the iPod generation.
It was just a matter of time. My wife gave me an iPod touch for Christmas, and, for the last 3 months, I've been learning how to take advantage of this device.

I can tell you right away that, even though I had tried to keep up on the iPod touch and its cousins, it has exceeded ALL of my expectations!
First of all, I plugged it into my iMac with the USB cable that was supplied, and pushed the “on” switch on the bottom (the only switch there is!).
