Rites of Spring

I love this time of year...I love the rhythms that allow me to repeat so many behaviors. Spring brings:

The seemingly annual spring Over the Rhine show at Canal Street....
Making plans for my summer travel to Wisconsin, and this year also to Colorado...
My perennial war against ants (who this year have chosen my bathroom and bedroom, avoiding their usual theater of war, the kitchen)...
Seeing the Reds within a game or two of first place (isn't April great?)...
Driving through a cool, crystal night with the sunroof open and the heater on...
