Tomorrow's News Today:

What with the crocuses and the snowdrops, the return of great blue heron, and the growing cast of characters singing in the dawn chorus, you probably suspect that spring might be coming. I headed south to investigate on my way to the National Federation of Community Broadcasters conference in Baltimore, and can confirm the rumor. Bright battalions of nasturtiums, daffodils, forsythia and flowing crab have reached Harrisburg PA in their long northward migration. In Charm City itself (home of the famed Bertha's Mussels), the charm is turned on full, forcing the buds to begin to leaf out. Don't lose hope, though I will precede spring in my return to Canton, a whole riot of color, smell and sound is close behind. Say amen.
