Washington Planner: Oh We Forgot To Post It Edition
After a two week sabbatical, Washington Planner is back in action. March Madness fades away as baseball swings into season, the cherry blossoms put on their annual exhibition, and one can almost taste summer approaching.
Given that it’s such a perfect time to be in Washington, make sure you get out and take advantage of all of the fun this week. Spending your evenings cheering on Sanjaya? Simply unacceptable when it’s this beautiful out. Actually, it’s just unacceptable no matter how you look at it.
