March

I was talking to my sister in law yesterday, and she casually commented that she hates March. After that comment, I just had to know what was so offensive about March? Her argument: no holidays, no days off, and crappy weather. She does not like basketball, so March Madness does not work for her. When I thought about it after speaking to her, I am convinced that March sucks. The only holiday is St. Patricks day which I do not celebrate despite my Irish ancestry. It is kind of a sucky holiday anyways. Drinking green beer (what did the beer do?) and eating horrible corned beef and cabbage (I have not touched corned beef since the early 90s when I found out it was essentially eating a hunk of lard). I would rather celebrate Thai or Indian heritage. The weather is too warm to ski and too cold to bike (the dreaded 40 zone where there is no potential for snow either). You have to get working on your taxes. When I think of the months, it is like a big blank. I can smell the grass in May, the sand in July, and the leaves in October. The kicker is that March is 31 days of cold, grey hell. So all that agree the March sucks unite!
