Let the Sunshine in!

Yipeee!!! Day 2 of March Break and hardly tropical but at 5 degrees, I'll take what I can get. Today we sprang forward into spring 3 weeks earlier to bank on natural sunlight in an age of energy conservation. (Not a bad idea Mr. Bush!). I am staring out my office window at blinding sunlight and confirm the findings in yesterday's Globe, that people who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (ie. winter depression due to lack of sun, SAD, how ironic?) are immediately boosted by a few rays in early spring. Prevalent in rainy, cloudy, overcast cities with mild winters (take that Vancouver and Seattle!) I suspect the affects of SAD are wearing off as my husband is a different man today.

Brunch at River and then a foray into the world of Toronto antiquing in our quest for a hutch and dining room chairs and perhaps a trip to Home Depot for baseboards in a half baked attempt to do something about the dungeon we call a basement.
