Notice that bright green? The calla lilies stretching towards the...yes, towards the sun? That's because this morning there actually is sunshine for the first time this year. OK, it's only January 4, but Saint Plotnikians are really spoiled out here.

Sun changes everything. Remember smiles, the ones with teeth? Put away the hot soup, dig out the charcoal, stow the Camus for another year, where are those tennies, got to get out on the Plotkicycle before another downpour arrives.

The Plotniks need to find a cat. If the cat is sleeping in the sun that means four weeks more January, followed by 28 days of February. If the cat is not sleeping in the sun, that also means four more weeks of January and 28 days of February, but you need a new cat.
