After the deluge…around the island

Ryan Browne posted this bit of verse, good for starting the day:

All now seems at work. Slugs leave their lair,
The bees are stirring, birds are on the wing,
And Winter slumbering in the open air,
Wears on his smiling face a dream of spring.
– Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Let’s look around a bit:

It's all for fun: It's the Ultimate Don Juan Challenge at the Hungry Clam - on Friday the 18th at 5:30pm, you can sign up to eat the Don Juan Burger - all seven pounds of it, with fries & a shake. You eat it, you don't have to pay the $30 it costs...if you don't finish, you pay. Either way, Lisa & Stacey will pay part of the meal to charity, and you get a chance to check out how they've remodeled the place - it's looking good!
