With a very small and tentative voice I will say that Spring has sprung here in New York. I hesitate to shout it due to our propensity for late March and even April snow storms that can blanket a very reluctantly springy city in white. In any event, today was a beautiful day to be outside. I got home and immediately headed out the door, taking my dog Bubba with me, for a quick run.

Our run began, of course, with Bubba trying to pee on everything not moving. We headed on our normal route, enjoying every ounce of warm sunshine. the run was quick and Bubba did well, mostly taking it slow, but putting on big bursts of speed every now and then.
