A square filled with various snowflake designs, or how it feels in Utah this spring As this week progressed, I realized that several things I wrote over the past couple of months need correction, and I came to the conclusion that a corrections edition of the TToT was called for.

I'm thankful for little signs that tell me that spring is coming. A da
