I Hate Spring

Winter is great: you've got snowboarding, skiing, cross-country skiing, snowball fights, snowmen, snow forts, sledding, and so forth.

Fall is great, or at least early Fall: the leaves turn brilliant colors, football is in the air (literally as well as figuratively), and not-too-warm sunny days have a charm of their own. It's like your cheating on the impending gloom of the pre-snow (that is, gray and windy) Winter.

Summer can bring beaches, boating, golf, and long, leisurely evenings.

Spring brings us . . . . What, exactly? Cold winds, repeated rain storms, ice, and of course, the end of snowboarding season.

Now if we could switch from snowboarding to golf in a week, then Spring would be great.
