Make the Best of It

Still, there are the Richard Corys, etc. 

It is cold here in the land of Spring Break.  The local news endlessly interviews people about it.  They all have that same dumb look on their faces as they tell the reporter where they came from and what they are going to do now that it is cold.  They're just going to make the best of it.  That's what they say. It makes fascinating television. 

Not having a social media spot of some sort has its disadvantages.  I'm the last to know about everything.  Harlem Shake?  They're doing it on aeroplanes I've read.  They do it in the NBA.  What happened to the Harlem Shuffle? 

It is too cold to go out this morning.  I think I'll just make some steel cut oats with nuts and honey and whole milk, and then go back to bed. 

I mean, I'm just going to make the best of it.
