There's a whiteboard up in my office which is designated the Top 10 board; it's numbered from 1 to 10, with space for a header, and every few days someone will change the header to some new Letterman-style Top 10 list category.

It's been unseasonably cold lately, such that I have not in fact had the chance to take the Vespa out again. Today we had large poofy clusters of snow, all coming down at a uniform angle, like some weird alien puffball invasion. Thus, someone changed the header to "Top 10 Reasons Why Spring is Late."

#1 now reads "Unprotected coitus with Autumn."

No, it wasn't my idea, but I wish it had been.
