Scream 23
Yeah, they lied to us again...it DID turn out to be another lousy cold Spring
Break in Oklahoma. And by "they" I mean "me." That's okay, in addition to lying
to myself about Spring Break weather in Oklahoma, I also let my imagination run
wild with me having a head of hair like Sean Penn (minus the 4-pack a day
crevice-filled face) and a body like Paul Giamatti.
See, that's a double-lie, because I actually DO have a body like Paul Giamatti,
but if I say I'm lying to myself about having a body like Paul Giamatti, that
means I DON'T have a body like Paul Giamatti.
You follow me?
That's okay, nobody else does either. Anyway, since I'm off this week, just
thought I'd give you a primer on what to expect this week. Lots of cold weather,
but a couple of somewhat warm days coming Wednesday and Thursday, then more cold
weather that might last quite awhile.
If you want it to feel like Spring, Thursday is your day. But keep in mind it
might REALLY feel like spring, with a severe threat coming for the eastern half
of Oklahoma. Hail and severe winds appear to be the primary threats.
For western Oklahoma, you might as well just go right back to winter. Enjoy
your snow and freezing rain tonight and tomorrow!
So enjoy your Spring Breaks in those exotic locations...Ft. Lauderdale, Corpus
Christi, Guthrie...I'll just keep dreaming of what we had Sunday (our first
90s of the year), and wait for this map to start to explode.
