Finally, it’s spring! Well, I say that for those of you who live in areas where you can actually enjoy the spring time. As I prepared the Turner Classic Movies channel’s April schedule of mystery and crime movies (in March), we have already had several days in the 80s. I’ve mentioned many times that we experience two seasons down here in San Antonio – humid and hot AND tepid and cool – yet still humid. So, we now see ourselves in the humid\/hot\/tropical-feeling weather. I sure do miss the four seasons!<\/p>\n
