mrwunrfl: If I see someone wearing one in Northern VA, I'll wonder if it is you, and vice versa? Is there some sign that fodorites give each other? I wish I was going to be here for the Sakura Matsuri, although it is going to rain tomorrow anyway. Maybe there is a cherry blossom festival in Japan that I can catch next April? The blossoms looked great as I drove by the tidal basin today, even in the rain...

Ani: being a personal trainer is great! He's had two shoulder surgeries in the past two years. (College football injuries) so I just worry about future dislocations. The surgeon informed us that next time there would be nothing left to work with, so it would not be too pleasant.

Final clearance is this week, tho so all is well right now. And of course, I don't want him to give up his business courses at college. He could do both.

He already lives at the gym, so this would be a great thing. Also looking into coaching football at the school where he graduated a couple of years ago. First on the list for an interview, so that would be great too!! Big Rave for that one! ***kim***
