Playing with dirt!

That's something that I could not do last year. My wife bought a bunch of pansies for the garden and I could assist her in putting them in this year. Dirt and fresh flowers were a big no-no last year. So, it's another step forward. Today was such a beautiful day - setting an all time temperature high as we got into the 80's.

For Easter, tomorrow, it won't be quite as warm but I'll take the mid-seventies. Since we always have an Easter egg hunt for the kids, tomorrow will be a perfect day for it. It's a lot of fun to put out the eggs and then watch the kids as they hunt for them. This year the egg count is 104 so it'll be a while before all of them are found. Another event that I'll certainly appreciate all the more.

I was interviewed for another local parper yesterday. The emphasis of the interview was the upcoming bone marrow drive on the 18th. It's just so important to get out the word and to be able to help the possible donor list grow.

Otherwise, it has been two days of beautiful weather and an early taste of what spring can really be. This time of year it can be beautiful like today or we could have a blizzard. New England weather is so unpredictable.

Again, I want to that all of you who have continued to support me with your cards, e-mails, etc. It is much appreciated as there is still a ways to go. But, thank God, I'm still continuing to do well.

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate the day...
