February is like...

  • an overstuffed pillow?
  • an underrated basketball team?
  • the shadow to the Groundhog's narcissism?
  • an obtuse growth on January's back?
  • the cool smooth icing on A Baker's Wife cake?
  • the shortened version of this...?
  • a mullet - all business in the front, but party in the back?
  • a winter respite with Dr. Zhivago?
  • taking aspirin to an Advil fight?
  • a crazy little thing called love?
  • a muted ping to August's pong?
  • a breeding ground for self-satisfying microorganisms?
  • an excellent excuse to be a bear?
  • an opportunity to remember and respect all things black?
  • a faint whisper from Persephone?
  • winter hitting it's stride just in time to start thinking about baseball.

  1. I like the respecting of all things black but Persephone? What is she whispering? Why Persephone? Unwilling bride of Hades/Pluto, queen of the underworld. Something to do with the center of hell? Something else? I really need to know what the -- she's whispering. SD

    1. Hey, she's not all underworldly. She's whispering "spring is coming" and at this point, I think its a fairly faint whisper.
