itching for spring

Whenever spring comes around, there’s just something in the air that makes us want to be outside.  I’ve wondered about how people in California feel, if they get the same itch to be outside when spring comes around because their winters don’t really prevent them from being outside.

Yesterday, walking all around, I saw people throwing frisbees.  I want to throw frisbees, instead of sitting in my office holed up in front of my laptop. I also want to ride my bike.  Walking to school this morning (because I missed the shuttle), I saw a biker go by, and I kicked myself that I completely forgot about my bike.  It’s sitting in the basement somewhere collecting dust, and today would have been such a perfect day to bike to school.

That, and I miss my road bike.

I biked to work most of the winter, except when it was snowing heavily or below 25 deg F, which wasn’t too often. Cruising to and from work on my sexy new fixie is one of the most pleasant and relaxing parts of my day… I recommend it, old friend!

Surely there are plenty of people who live in good climates and who are shallow enough that they take it for granted. For me (and many others, no doubt), being oblivious to beautiful weather is like getting sick of chocolate - it just doesn’t happen. Even with mild winters, I always cherished the spring in Cali.
