But as for now, the sun is shining from a beautiful blue sky with cotton scattered so thin you can barely see it above. It FEELS good. It feels happy! Just looking outside fills my head with memories of Springs past. I can seriously relive college and NYC just from taking the dog out or sitting at my desk with the window open.
Today I'm taken back to college - I remember the fun things Spring brought on a college campus. Walking to class in between people laying out and playing catch in the grass. It was straight out of movie scene of some ivy league, except that it was my corner of the private university in the south. I'd leave my dorm window open and play on AIM listening to Napster, wait for my flip cell phone to ring, drive around with the sunroof open on my Chevy Beretta. I remember road tripping to AR for Sigma Chi formal with the boy I totally had a heart for. Walking to play rehearsals, ICEE trips to 7-11, intramurals, ditching class for margaritas on the OTB patio, afternoons lounging around the KE house with the doors and windows all open, frosh music history class (don't know why, but it's there), the patio at the Deeg.
Then depending on how the breeze hits my memory I miss NYC with all my heart. Happy Hours at Bryant Park, laying out in Central Park, or Saturday afternoon walks, brunch at Essex and shopping around SoHo, Misty at the dog park, stumbling upon street fairs and farmers markets, laying out on the roof and lazy afternoons in Riverside Park lying on a blanket reading books while the boys played frisbee. Yes, it was, yet again, a picturesque time from a scene in a movie. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING beats New York in the Spring.
Man, I need some good Spring memories here in Dallas before I pack my bags and head back up north!
