Dear Readers,
Did Daylight Savings Time knock anyone else for a loop? How could one hour so detrimentally impact me? I'm happy enough for the hour of daylight coming out of a meeting, or coming out of yoga, or or whatever else is happening at 6 or 7pm. But I am deeply unappreciative of the freezing darkness which greets us before 7am, extending what feels like a verrrrrry long winter. Net effect: I'm done with you, Winter.
For me, here in New York City winter weather is kind of like a bad relationship. It keeps promising to change. It maybe does, for a day or so, here and there. That mid-January taste of warmth is like an unexpected bouquet of flowers. You are ecstatic. Hey, this might work out after all.
But it doesn't, really.
It goes back to its frigid, blustery, unforgiving ways. Spring promises to trickle in, but it actually takes months. The routine is slow to change, to put the old outfits and habits away for a while and not fall back into them. Then finally! June and July are peak weather relationship months. Sort of. Then…by August you're kind of two-timing Summer, sort of thinking fondly of your friend Mr. (or Ms.) Cold and wondering what they're up to. Then, one day in September, Cold texts you (maybe drunk?) and you're like oh! s/he still likes me, that's cool. But I'm really committed to Warm. But Warm's too Hot so maybe I'll just put on a sweater and boots and…Oh, I shouldn't have done that.
Now I'm back in the trap again. Cold. No, wait! See it's not so bad--especially when the fall colors are so pretty and you've bought an incredibly expensive new coat / hat / scarf / gloves. Yeah this is good. And the snow! It doesn't even feel cold! Oh Wait. It's dark all day and you're freezing outside and overheated inside and that pretty day of snow turned to black slush and…
I swear. I swear I'm done with Cold. Forever! Gonna break up and…Happy Spring, darling-- I brought you these daffodils. I PROMISE! This year it'll be different.
'Til then, bundle up. Or-- you have my permission to two-time on Cold and go somewhere Warm for Spring Break.

We think that culture comes high and low, not much in between. Our audience is vast and not gender-driven. Every week we expect to deliver at least one good laugh.
