More spring!

I love flowering cherries, so you get more pictures of them. I also posted a closeup of the blossoms.

Taxes are all done (a few hours ago, in fact). Now I get to decide what I want to do with the rest of the day. Probably, I'll see if I can knock a few things off my to-do list (although the current stuff is only at 56, which is fairly good for me). Maybe this evening I'll feel inspired to write another book review, which would be good as I'm four behind at the moment.

I seem unlikely again this year to average seven books a month, which has been my rough target. This month, I blame that on Quicksilver, which is not exactly fast reading. And given that Anathem was nominated for the Hugo, Stephenson is likely to destroy my average for the year. I should count his books as three or four books or something for the purpose of my inner drive. But more generally, the extra time playing video games had to come out of somewhere, and it seems currently to be mostly coming out of reading.
