Queercents Weekly Roundup: April Showers
It’s spring in DC, which always seems like a good idea in theory. In practice, it’s more like a gray, muddy mess of steady rain to make a public transit commute miserable and foil the best laid running plans. May flowers, anyone?

Queercents Rehash: Is A Swimming Pool A Money Pit?: In hopes of warmer weather to come….
Cherry blossoms and Japanese tourists!
Gotta love the district.
Google Apps actually fixed me an omelet for breakfast this morning…
Thanks for the mention!
Thanks, Melissa. If one of the nice days coincides with one of my free days, we may get to see the cherry blossoms! Perhaps they’ll be prettier for the rain (or maybe it’ll knock off the petals…)
Melissa: I loved the post from J.D. about the $500 purchase… thanks for highlighting it. I missed that one this week.
Hang in there with the weather! You’ll be sweating on a summer run soon…
