•I did some good stuff at the gym on Thursday, including getting an exercise for the psoas muscle to work smoothly. And Emilie showed me a chart, and I saw that it is in fact spelled with a ψ, so it's just as well I didn't try looking it up under 's'.

•I did not get my blood drawn on Friday, but in walking back from the lab place I saw and smelled magnolia trees in full bloom. I stood under them for a couple of minutes, just enjoying; someone coming the other way up 35th Street held up what looked like a cellphone, presumably taking pictures.

•Spring has been rather slow, or maybe late, this year, but today in the park I saw a maple in bloom (one of the green-flowering kind I grew up with, not the red ones that come earlier), a couple of dandelions, and the very first open blossoms on a weeping cherry.
