She caught the ducks landing on the water. Snow is melting. I wish I could say hearts were melting too. I heard a politician giving a speech this afternoon. He was stumbling over the phrase &#8220;The Great Recession&#8221; that I believe he was trying to use, maybe to coin, for the financial mess the media have been trying to convince us we&#8217;re in the middle of.

Anyway, the politician stumbled over the words and it sounded like &#8220;the great reception&#8221; and then my brain went to work and called it &#8220;The Great Deception.&#8221; Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if that description sticks and we throw the bumbs out and start again with a nice clean slate?<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;Jim<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon-text sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-156\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/IndieNews\/index.php\/2010\/03\/08\/another-day-closer-to-spring\/?share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span>Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-156\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon\" href=\"http:\/\/aerendel.ca\/IndieNews\/index.php\/2010\/03\/08\/another-day-closer-to-spring\/?share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span>Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>-Monday, 08 March, 2010. 8\u02daC @ 3:00 pm.
