03/17/2004 Entry: "The Roaming"

If you've look up at the clear night sky as often as I have this month, you've probably been wondering which planet that is up there all bright and shiny and stuff. I know I have, so I consulted my trusty almanac. The answer is, it could be any damn one of the five; they are all quite prominent throughout the month. And check this out:

Late this month, all five bright planets are arrayed along the zodiac like a sting of pearls in the twilight.

Doesn't that sound romantic? I hope to catch a glimpse of that, but alas, the zodiac is a might low on the horizon in this northerly land of five storey appartment houses.

Also, vernal equinox is on Saturday, the beginning of Spring. Dude Dude Chick is playing the Side Door that day. Perhaps they can work that in to the gig's theme? Maybe play Coltrane's Equinox, or we could call the theme "hey Vern(al)!"?

Lastly, another bit of almanac wisdom as long as I have her sitting on my lap: don't say that spring has come until you can put your foot on nine daisies; which suggests that spring comes sooner for some of us than for others.
