It has been a great week. Spring has sprung in the D.C. area. The days are getting longer. And I hear the -ping- of batting practice as softball and baseball practices start up in area parks. 

While I do love all seasons, there just is something special about spring. 

Now, grab a cup of joe, and settle into this week's reading pile.
