Are you two going to the park too?

Clearly the events of the past few days have me reeling since I just noticed that I wrote "affects" as a noun, rather than "effects." While my punctuation is a victim of Microsoft Word, I pride myself on knowing the difference between

-affect & effect
-to, too, & two
-their, there,& they're
-bear & bare.

In fact, in first grade I was the only one in my class to already know the 3 different uses of to, too, & two when that lesson began. That was before I learned Spanish and figured out there was also "tu."

Anyway, I am totally irritated when people don't know the differences between such words. Thus, while I had decided to not apologize for my writing, I do apologize for the grammatical error.

Happy April. It snowed a fucking mountain here last night. The effects of winter are affecting me.

it was so nice yesterday and this morning is grand. why the nastiness for the snow that is now long gone. strollers are out. johan was sitting on the deck directing traffic with bergen and all is wonderful.
smell the spring in the morning air. mmmmmit's wonderful.
it is too nice for the two of you not to bare all (now winter jackets) and go on a bear hunting excursion with stroller around the block. it will affect you in a positive way and it's effects will carry you through tomorrow's snow.
love love
