Last week I submitted the argument that Spring really wasn't far away. This I did in spite of knowing that blowing snow, cold and generally "sick of winter" blues affected most of my reading audience.

There was this important job to be done and everybody was asked to doit. Everybody was sure that somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was everybody's job.

As I write, the official "first day of spring" is well nigh over and we're all hoping the end of winter is just around the proverbial corner.

Story:I've always been fascinated with the landscape under the ocean. As a kid I envisioned it as a massive playing field -flat, sandy and obstacle free.
