I suppose there are worse places one could be stranded than Tampa, Florida. I've been here in the Buccaneers' and Rays' hometown on a business trip since Monday and was scheduled to fly back to DC this morning. However, a light 12-18" dusting of snow in the greater DC region (the storm's now being dubbed Snochi — cute) has all but paralyzed air traffic in the nation's capital, meaning that my original return flight as well as my backup flights all got canceled. I'm now scheduled to get home by tomorrow evening. But even that's in jeopardy now, as another system advancing into the area may drop up to 4 more inches tomorrow night. So with the status of my return less than certain at the moment, I continue to cool my jets in the warm Tampa sun.
And speaking of the warm sun, let's take a quick jaunt back to the summer of 1992 — a time I always associate with sunny optimism and carefree frivolity. To me, no song more immediately conjures up that era than the Soup Dragons' highest-charting single "Divine Thing." So for those who sit in their snowbound houses tonight (or worse, an incapacitated airport), here's a little ditty that will hopefully send a ray or two of sunshine your way. Enjoy!
