Spring is in the air, allegedly. The sun is setting later in the evening. The birds are singing early in the morning. The cat downstairs is desperate to get outside and kill them all. Yes, surely Spring has arrived.
So, what are some fun Springtime activities you can do? The weather is warming up but not quite there and the ground is still kind of muddy from the melted snow and fun Spring rain. That means your usual warm weather plan of drinking PBR in Trinity Bellwoods is out of the question. OR IS IT?
You know, it doesn’t HAVE to be. Show some dedication to your craft. Get out there and get muddy drunk. Muddy drunk is great because you don’t notice or care that a lot of the mud is actually dog poop.
If rolling around in poop isn’t your thing, there are still lots of fun Spring things you can do. Here is a list, because everything these days needs to be in list form:
1. Attend a Blue Jays game. Sure, they are always a huge let down and beer costs $10.50, but there is still something great about spending an afternoon or evening at the ballpark.
2. Venture into High Park. High Park is Trinity Bellwoods classier older sibling. You may still find the odd drunk Hipster, but you’ll mostly find nice young families and thousands, yes THOUSANDS of dogs. If you aren’t a dog person, High Park may not be for you.
3. Take a stroll along the Humber. The lakefront gets all the hype but taking a nice long walk along the Humber River is so much more relaxing. It’s less crowded than the lakefront and quite frankly, the scenery is just better.
4. Take a long bike ride. I have to take my friends’ words on this one. I don’t have a bike and the thought of biking in the city terrifies me. They, however, LOVE it. There are all sorts of areas around the city that are great to bike. I have experience biking around the Island and enjoyed that. So, hop on a bike and cruise. Just watch out for taxis.
5. Write stupid blogs. I can’t recommend this one enough. It kills time, makes you feel productive, and the best part, it totally wastes the time of your friends and family who feel obligated to read it. IT’S THE BEST.
6. Day drink anywhere. I mean, really, once the weather hits double digits it’s a license to day drink anywhere you want. It’s the law. I think.
7. Attend a Maple Leafs playoff game. JUST KIDDING.
Okay, I’ll stop there. I mean, how lazy are you? Come up with some of your own ideas. Jeez. I love the Spring, but I can’t wait for Summer. Stay tuned for a list of fun Summer things to do! (Spoiler: there pretty much the exact same as above, just in shorts).
Love always,
Josiah
