If you can duck outside today, consider visiting the Quad on UW campus, where the cherry trees are having sex. Better still, stop first at Best of Bento on the Ave to get yourself a box of katsu or teriyaki or sushi or gyoza (or a combination) with some miso soup and savor it under the canopy of pink petals.
