work, gym, spring

First, the cool stuff: the apple tree is in bloom, there are plenty of periwinkles, and still a bit of crocus. The usual one early azalearhododendron, bright magenta, in Inwood Hill Park, and several violets along the Broadway edge of Isham Park.

OK, some of the work is moderately cool. I've finished off the cold read on that math book, and it will be a good book (for which Marta gets more credit than I do, but I spotted some things other people had missed. As she pointed out, there was enough that needed fixing earlier that it was hard for anyone to find all of it). Having done that, I'm back to editing my eighth-grade science book; another huge book for Louisiana.

After work, I went to the gym, and did a moderately thorough workout.
