Spring this, mofo!

This is my favorite time of the year:

- The start of the baseball season. The crack of the bats. The freshly-cut grass. Fantasy baseball getting in full swing.
- Playoff basketball. Bulls, Celtics, epic.
- Playoff hockey. I don't really follow hockey, but a game now and then is quite fun.
- Summer movies start coming out. There's really nothing quite as satisfying (or as American) as a good Hollywood blockbuster.
- Birds chirping at 2 a.m. They're back from the south!
- The last weeks of school. Children everywhere, from ages three to thirty-three, rejoice as the end of the year approaches. Pizza parties, classes outdoors, proms, and naked runs around campus.
- Layover nearing completion. I can't wait to show the world.
- Eunsoo shooting another project.

I used to dread spring when I lived in New York, where I'd get the gnarliest allergies. But in sunny Southern California, the smog kills the pollen, and all is good.

Let's go Mets.
