Virginia’s Tulip Garden

You probably wouldn’t guess this, but I just spent the last 90 minutes or so watching the final few rounds of the 2006 Masters. And I like it that Phil Mickelson won, mostly ’cause he’s one o’ those players who was really really good but had never won a major, and then it seemed that’s all anyone ever wanted to talk about.

I also like Phil ’cause he’s a lefty. (No, I’m not a lefty, but I do have lefty-envy.) And also ’cause he looks like our former mayor — who, by the way, is female ... and right-handed, to the best of my knowledge — who also has a bit of a Hugh Grant thing going on. (Don’t ask.)

: )

Virginia’s tulips were mostly closed-up Friday, thanks to the rain.

Today, though, they’re open. And quite gorgeous.

Tulips rock!
