BY TERRY MATLOCK Chief Executive Officer


Spring fever! The sun is shining, and things are looking “up”


inter is finally over and as spring comes my mind wonders. Spring Fever is, well a biological imperative.


It starts in the Northern hemisphere of the vernal equinox. It causes us to feel more energetic and sometimes you can see people walking around randomly smiling at strangers. It’s the increased exposure to daylight that creates these mood changes experienced this time of year. Our senses just seem to wake up.


“Up.” Now that is a word of words. Two letters; it’s an adverb, a preposition, an adjective, a noun and a verb. The word “up” has about 30 definitions.


We wake up in the morning, speak up at a meeting, and candidates are up for election.


It’s up to me to write up this column in hopes that I enlighten or brighten up your day. We lock up to keep things we put up, and get stirred up when someone forgets to lock up. We line up to get tickets and work up an appetite doing so. We think up excuses, dress up, open up and close up. When it looks like rain we say it’s clouding up and then when it does rain we say it soaks up; if it doesn’t rain it dries up and then we get stopped up because it is spring and our minds do wonder.


I guess I’ll wrap it up for now. I could go on and on but my time is probably about up!
