Season’s Greetings

Change is in
the air: one day it’s
a leonine 35 degrees, the next a sheepish
50. On a recent memorable afternoon, the temperature
teased the 70-degree mark. When what
is so rare as a day in June occurs in
March, grateful
New Yorkers shed
the shearling, peel away the Polartec, unearth last summer’s tubes and tanks,
and luxuriate in the unexpected radiance.
