My sister’s got an Anya seedling! On its first true leaves! Go little apricot go! (I forgot to ask if I could show off her picture.) Ed. to add: Thanks, Marian, here it is!

Meantime, a large glossy postcard arrived at our house for Larry: it offered a chance to do good for future patients, it offered a large bonus for signing on, and they really really wanted someone with his expertise to come be a psychologist working for them. And they’re right, there are a lot of people who could use a good therapist right now like no other time I’ve ever seen.

But there’s one problem with that.

Larry sold this house to us 35 years ago when he retired and moved to Hawaii.

I don’t think he’s going to be taking them up on that offer.
