We're not going to think about tomorrow's rain. We're not going to think about the low temps in the teens predicted for later in the week. We're not going to think about the snow that's coming. We're not going to think about the two more months of cold weather we have to put up with until weather like today is here everyday. No, we're instead going to cut work and head outside. We're going to take the dog to the park. We're going to drink a 40 oz of High Life out of a paper bag while we let the kids play in the street and the neighbors judge us. For today is a day of celebration, with highs in the mid-60s and partly cloudy skies. Maybe we'll even take advantage of the winds and fly a kite. Abe Lincoln would have wanted it that way.
