A Thinking Reed

"Man is but a reed, the most feeble thing in nature, but he is a thinking reed" – Blaise Pascal

Spring fever

I finally get what everybody was talking about when they said that Spring in DC is wonderful. I had the day off today and took the opportunity to wander a bit around the city. It’s about 80 degrees, low humidity, crystal blue sky, and it seems like every last bit of flora is in full, fragrant bloom. I went up to the National Cathedral, which, in addition to being a pretty impressive building, has a sweet theological bookstore (I picked up a copy of James Alison’s On Being Liked). Then I walked around the Cleveland Park area a bit before hoofing it back home for lunch. My only regret is that I didn’t take my camera to snap some shots for posting here. I think, though, that we may head down to the Tidal Basin for a stroll tomorrow, so maybe photos will be forthcoming.

  1. Did you go through the Bishop’s Garden? That must be beautiful this time of year.

  2. Of course I stupidly didn’t go to the bishop’s garden. Overly mesmerized by the books, I guess.
