Mea Culpa

I am sorry. It is obvious that the reason that Toronto is getting hit with insane, unseasonal ice and snow storms is simply because of my last post. I apologize to anyone this may have inconvenienced. I know people were excited about using their spring jackets instead of their heavy winter coats with mitts and hats, and were putting all of their shovels and salt bags in the basement, and started thinking about taking walks after work in order to get in better shape for skimpy clothes season. I know. I was doing all of those things too.

But then I jumped the gun and got all cocky and thought that spring was in the bag. I forgot that the season gods keep an ear out for this sort of over-confidence and well, my bragging caused all of us to suffer. So, once again, please forgive me. Really, I can't put too fine a point on my feelings of remorse. If it helps at all, I think I'm getting a cold.

In any event, I guess we'll just have to hunker down and wait for this to blow over. Just please know that you won't see me typing up any more odes to a spring morn any time soon. Consider that a promise.
