Today, I indulged in a long lunch and walked across the Hill to the Senate side for some sushi. (The Dirksen office building cafeteria has a sushi stand, and the prices are ridiculously low. It is one of the Hill's best kept secrets.) On the way back, I walked through a sea of Segways sashaying behind the Capitol...a group of French-speaking tourists warming up for their guided procession.
Here are a few more tulips, tossed in with other tidbits of late. [Click here for the s(l)ideshow.]

Oh my, 80's are considered oldies ... yikes !!
Pues si mija... :) I know! I'm going to plug in my iPod and play some Alphaville, Forever Young...
Wow! Those pictures gave me deja vu of the days I worked on the hill with your mom and the beautiful spring flowers....
(Those were good times...not too long ago.) These flowers and the constant landscaping and gardening provide a sense of tranquility...people at work...producing colorful results. It does seem surreal these days.
Alphaville!!! I fear they landed in the pile of cassette tapes I took to the Salvation Army a couple of years ago. There were some treasures in that pile. Me encantan los tulips. Y las fotos de familia estan super. Abrazos, Margara
...just imagine, there is probably a young teenager listening to your Alphaville cassette with a Sony Walkman...walking down the streets of Madagascar or East Timor, nodding his head to the beat.
