I just watched the first of the new series of Doctor Who and loved it (when shop dummies and wheelie bins go bad). <\/p>\n
The weather isn’t looking particularly nice for climbing this weekend. It keeps looking like turning to Spring here (a nice sunny afternoon, some blue skies), then going “HAHA, FOOLED YOU AGAIN!” and being gloomy and raining for a week straight. All of the rain has led to flood warnings, and the Potomac River has been enroaching on the edges of Alexandria. I went for a ride along the bike path the other morning and several sections were under a few inches of water – there was no putting my feet up on the handlebars to get through either, I never would have made it out the other side just by cruising (although that would have created an amusing spectacle for passers-by).<\/p>\n

I was hoping to go and look at some of the Cherry Blossom Festival festivities as well this weekend (DC has a Cherry Blossom Festival thanks to a gift of 3000 cherry trees from the Mayor of Tokyo in 1912), but the cherry trees seem to be determined not to bloom. And although I’m sure the festivities will be nice, I don’t think it will be quite the same if we’re just wandering around dead trees. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
