Spring Has Sprung

The sun is shining, the forsythia is blooming, the grass suddenly turned green overnight...we are actually having an EARLY Spring in New England. Unheard of! Which probably means that we'll get a foot of snow next week or something. New England likes to do things like that.

Nevertheless, and even though it is a Monday, I am in a fairly decent mood. My taxes are all finished, the house is clean, and although I need to make dinner for fourteen people or so, on Easter, I am still calm. These sorts of moods do not strike often.

Which leads me to ponder the state of Super Heroes and Super Heroines homes. I would think that they probably live in squalor. With all of those late-night emergencies, or the possibility that they are going to be kidnapped to another galaxy for a month or two...Their fridges are probably full of sour milk and moldy cheese. They can't keep pets, because who would feed them? With the exception of Superman and Krypto, and Power Girl and her cat, I can't think of any other super types that have pets. Well...maybe Kitty over in the X-Men, but she's in a school,and there is probably someone around to help feed Lochheed.

When do they have time to do laundry, change the sheets, do the dishes, heck go grocery shopping? I noticed in the last issue of Justice League that Hal is bumming groceries off of the government, because, as he says, who has the time? In fact, the Flash is probably the only one who has a decent standard of living.

Well, and Batman. But he's got Alfred to pick up after him.

I wish I had a butler.
