Spring is coming...

Dear Greg,

I don't know if you remember me, but I used to work at
BarnesandNoble.com with you...I was one of the web designers on the
other side of the compound. Frost sent out an email to us former
BNers and it struck me, after all these years: Greg, yeah I remember
him--he was the smart blond guy with the thoughtful demeanor and dry
Canadian wit. I really liked him at BN--he usually had some funny
quip as I went over to editorial to see what foxy new art books had
fallen out of the sky like manna (and onto Brett's lap).

Greg, please get better. It was 60 degrees a couple days ago, so
spring is finally coming to NYC and you don't want to miss that. Feel
your toes in the cool grass by the Hudson River Park by the bikepath.
Then summer--all those free outdoor concerts around the city...and
have you sampled the Ecuadorian food stands by the Red Hook
Ballfields? Those flavors make you grateful for having taste buds!
Then fall--the fever pitch of a national election that's going to
make history one way or another. This dreary winter's almost over and
there's a first flush of green nubbage on the trees. It's going to be
good...stay with us Greg.
