Seventh Annual Manayunk in Bloom Main Street Sat, April 19, 12 p.m. Free Maude once famously asked "Who sends dead flowers to a funeral?" and then answered that nobody sends dead flowers to a funeral, so why do people insist on wearing black? Idiots. Everyone likes nice, fresh flowers. Everyone except people with debilitating allergies -- people who can barely breath, with huge adenoids and no taste buds. Those people dread flowers like everyone else dreads smallpox. But flowers in bloom are cool for the rest of us. My sister has bad allergies, but she's a trooper. Like a State Trooper. Poor kid, such a serious job at such a young age.
