- The radiant profusion of alabaster white skin blubbering out from beneath clothing more suited for the tropics temporarily blinds you as people joyously run, skate, and bike down the lakefront path for the first time in months.
- You’re asked to buy a Streetwise every half-block instead of every few blocks.

- It is easier to imagine a flower sprouting from dead brown grass than frozen white grass.
- Beer tastes way better.
