March, In like a lion...


In like a lion and out like a lamb, this is how the month of March is often described. A month of transitions; from winter to spring. It is also the month the covers the astrological sign of Pieces, two fish swimming in opposite directions. This year has certainly lived up to expectations.


Very cold weather, an unusual snow storm extending from the Atlantic Deep South to New England opened the month. I expect that this might lead us to believe that we will have a very mild and possibly early spring despite what some small town rodent in Pennsylvania leads us to believe.


March Madness isn’t about the weather, but it is about transitions. The end of the college basketball season and hints of opening play at the ‘ball park’. The month has just started bracket bantering has already begun. The final buzzer that ends the season hasn’t been heard and already the talk is about whom will toss out the first pitch at the new Shea Stadium.


The market went down faster than the thermometer this winter but it is March now and who knows what will happen, did the market also come in like a lion and will it too go out like a lamb?
