real life, or something like it
Tricia and I have both had interesting weeks at work. Hers has been the less pleasant. As a member of the manager class at a “major telecommunications company” where union workers have walked out, she has been putting in 12-hour days. Needless to say she has not been a happy camper, not only because of the long hours but also due to the stress of crossing picket lines to get there.
Interesting times where I work too. A two-year, 25 million dollar project has completely collapsed, the department head has resigned and a major regrouping is in the works. Lucky for me I was never associated with the project in any way.

I am soooo glad I don’t have the Work-Stress syndrome anymore. I thought I would miss it, but I DON’T!! (BIG GRIN HERE)

Love your site; got to the iris show in Argyle in part because of it though my wife had their catalog. On your latest posting, as Bill Clinton would say: I feel your pain.

and I have been to square in Commerce and many other small towns; go to Clarksville’s square. The restaurants change every so many years. I had a student from Clarksville and I told him about eating in the restaurant in the square and he said that that’s been 3 different restaurants since you were there.
I had a passion flower once and it attracted a particular type of butterfly and I had their pupae and larvae all around– your fennel and the blackswallowtail.
