Spring in D.C.

O ut with the selfie-sticks. Not that long ago, tourists were slowing down foot traffic in D.C., stopping to take pictures. This year, for cherry-blossom season in the nation’s capital, tourists were so serious about their vacations that they were using actual cameras instead of their phones. As I tried to maneuver between meetings in my usual last-minute style, the change was unmistakable. I wondered if it had something more to do with nostalgia, or perhaps even an attempt at a Lenten fast from excessive screen time.
