Here is a photo of Adrienne, Jimmy and I with Adrienne's boyfriend Nick Bohardt on Christmas morning 2008. We had a lovely time. All four of us got new cell phones for Christmas and promptly spent the rest of the day playing with them. Nick and Adrienne went for iPhones while Jimmy and I acquired Blackberries, our first foray into the 21st century.

Adrienne is working as marketing & development director for the Glen Helen Ecology Institute in Yellow Springs. Glen Helen is part of Antioch University, which is still alive and well with a graduate school in Yellow Springs and branches in several other cities. Only the undergraduate college has closed.

 
This is of one of seven Clivia Miniatas I have in bloom right now. It's a named clone called Tessa. These plants go for $250 and up, but I got this plant free through my association with the North American Clivia Society.

A colleague took the photo on the left of me at work with my Amaryllis. I'm growing it as part of a School of Medicine staff contest, and I think it's going to win. This first set of flowers was on a stunted and bent stalk instead of the tall, straight one that is normal. But the flowers were huge and gorgeous. 

The flash and low light don't do justice to the deep salmon pink inside the flower's throat. Since this photo was taken about 10 days ago, another stalk rose two feet and four of six luscious buds have opened on it. I never got such gratification from growing a plant. Notice the wooden box with a wolf on it on the shelf behind me. Neil & Melinda gave it to me for Christmas last year.

This photo was taken a few years ago at a Yellow Springs Perry League T-Ball game. Jimmy has been head coach since 1985. Under his leadership, the program has grown to involve close to 100 children between the ages of 2 and 8 each summer. He leads using "T-Ball Taoism," which seems to mean if we all smile and have fun, everything will work out to the best in the end. There are no strikes and no outs and everybody gets a turn.
