It's a gorgeous day in Connecticut today. Warm (near 70 degrees F), hardly a cloud in the sky and a pleasant northwesterly breeze. In fact, I'm inclined to say that this might be one of "the 10 best days of the year." Local weathercasters have been using that term whenever the weather is nearly perfect. In fact, there may actually be more than 10 such days in a given calendar year. So how does one decide when such an award is justified? Easy. You realize it as soon as you step outside.
The air smells sweet, the birds are singing, the sun is out. The temperature is perfect. You'd like to spend the entire day outdoors, playing in the park with your dog, taking a nice long bicycle ride, or enjoying a walk with your significant other. The 10 Best Days of the Year can't be defined. You just know it. And believe me, for those of you who are not in central Connecticut today, this is definitely one of the 10 best days of the year.
