Friends! BEAR NEWS Consumers! Others Who Accidentally Ended Up On This Newsletter Thread By Mistake And Can't Figure Out Where You Are! It's Officially Spring™! Now, if you, like all of us here in the IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS CAVE, live in Greater Boston, the epic and unseasonable snowfall today may suggest otherwise about the seasons, but take our word -- spring is here and it is NOT going away. Maybe you spent your winter months avoiding the Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) by hosting adorable slumber parties, sitting near a special kind of lamp or eating a lot of soup. Whatever you did, it worked -- because spring is here! Days are longer! Light is brighter! Temperatures are at / near normal non-awful levels! And the bears are awakening from their seasonal slumber and ready for adventure and mayhem. Local news sources may disagree, but the bears know the truth -- we missed them, and they missed us. The next few issues of IMPORTANT BEAR NEWS will show all the many diverse ways America expresses her Great Spring Bear Rediscovery (GSBR®, for short). We're glad to take you along with us! We'd like to take the time to thank IMPORTANT BEAR readers J. Carlisle Larsen, Joel Pavelski and Andrew Helms for their on-the-ground bear correspondence this week, and encourage all of our bear readers to do the same. And thus, TO THE BEARS.
