Springtime in Zurich

Alas, I’m not in Vienna to make this post a tribute to the Hip, but I think it’s finally time to rub it in for those of you back in Canada. For the past week it’s been high teens, sometimes over 20 degrees here. The sandals have been brought out of their seasonal hibernation and shorts have been worn. I have had beer on the patio the last two nights and the BBQ is ready to be fired up. I mean it’s no 4 degrees with snow/rain/sleet but hey, everyone has to live somewhere…right?

Of course with the temperatures comes the spring bloom and although it is amazingly pretty, my allergies are driving me crazy. I’m not sure what type of plant it is that my immune system has the feud with, but good grief, the last two days have been histamine-arific. Where’s that Reactine van when you need it?

Nice to see the Jays off to a nice start and I’m debating on paying 50 CHF to have access to all of the playoffs via steaming. It could mean some late nights/early morning for those west coast games, but I think it’s almost worth it.

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend. I’m off to Slovenia for a week on Wednesday night for a conference and workshop and hopefully a bit of sight-seeing. They better put a damn stamp in my passport.
