Have you ever been to the cherry blossom festival in DC? I went when I was in elementary school and I’ve been dying to go back ever since. Some day I will.
Ubertramp (you are really Micheal, yes?) – yes I have – I grew up in the DC area. We lived in Northern Virginia. They really are beautiful around the Tidal Basin. I understand there is much conservation work happening to save the trees. Some are quite old now.
Yea, I’m Michael. I’m a bit better, thanks. Functional, at least. I lived in VA for about 3 years, I think. Mostly down in Chester. But my real dad lived closer to DC, in Rose Hill. I miss the fall colors.

Oh but Russ, they come back. And because they bloom and fade and seed, the tree remains… and there will be more trees.

Bittersweet how quickly they bloom and wilt.

Hope you are feeling better!
