Tulsa. A Tale of Rhododendrons, Trimethylxanthine, and Calcium Carbonate

Rudely awakened by good intentions, I found myself 120 miles east of Enid rather early this morning. It was Keri who packed up Andrew and me - and in good time we were at a farmer's market in Tulsa. Of course there was no produce, it's April for godsake - but there were plenty of good vibes on 15th street regardless of date in time. Even though peaches weren't in season, it just so happened Azaleas were. Disclaimer: this maybe a Keeling hyperbole - but! - there were probably one million flowering azaleas throughout Tulsa. Incredible.

Count them. One million.

Keri desperately wants a puppy - but then what is Andrew?

Brother Mathiaus mailed Andrew money - as a gift to spend on my birthday - for the purchase of fleeting happiness. How could it be better spent than on a cup of chai? Thanks broski.

The sun finally quit as I showboated a V0 in Chandler Park. Thus concluding a day, very well spent.

  1. I did not fully realize how much more south Oklahoma was in comparison to Maryland. None of our azaleas or rhododendrons are in bloom and Tulsa appears to be in a full riot of color. Spring has definitely arrived!

  2. Really great pics bro, but I have to admit that the title is my favorite part of the story...some flowers, a little caffeine, and climbing. It sounds like an awesome weekend. Glad to see you guys all with smiles.

    Less than a month and I'll be out there...YAY

  3. Tulsa is bloomin' beautiful; do you find it ironic to drive 110 mi of countryside to a farmer's market?
