Polson Seniors: On the cusp of March
March has been described as coming in like a lion and out like a lamb. Although March 19 is the first day of Spring (9:06 p.m. MST), it is okay to say March 20 is the first daylight of Spring. “March Madness” begins, a term describing the various basketball tournaments on TV. All those political ads are already driving me mad.
