Sunshine, slices, and seasons

Sunshine: I've always suspected that I mildly suffer from SAD (seasonal affective disorder). Basically, I'm fine in the winter, but not nearly as fun as I am during the other three seasons. I think, anyway. This weather is so amazing. 80 degrees. Sweet. I get paid (granted it's pennies) to stand outside and get sunburned while I yell at kids to run harder on days like today. Not a bad gig.

Slices: Pizza, that is. Pizza is the ultimate sharing food. You join with others and order a big pie and dig in. I've recently wondered who thought that was a good idea. I, honestly, eat anything on pizza. Except maybe anchovies. How many times have you sat ordering with friends and it becomes this either insanely awkward process or the most random concoction of ingredients everyone can either live with or pick off. We have a few friends who make pizza ordering difficult. Both of whom are about to make the triumvirate a quadrant. Pat only eats meat. Kate, no meat at all. And, I, liking everything refuse to eat only cheese. Move over Jack Sprat. Maybe we'll add our vegan friends, the Tonellis, to the mix and create pure insanity. Or maybe we'll go to Pizza Hut and get personal pan pizzas.

Seasons: The NCAA is gearing up for the most exciting part of the season. That made me realize how lucky I am to live in ACC-land once again. One of the things I like most about Raleigh is how many sporting events there are here. Asheville only has the Tourists. Well, and middle school football. Since moving here in August, we've gone to a Carolina football game, a State football game, a Carolina basketball game, and a State basketball game. Not to mention, but totally unrelated, the Hurricanes hockey game. I love it. We've taken advantage of living in the city of tickets. On another note, we've seen The Tempest and we have some killer concerts lined up and are looking forward to some Durham Bulls games. That, my friends, I like. Hello March Madness. (Go Heels!)
