I also recently turned 40 (a week ago), so went to the Cayman Islands for a two week dive trip...that was fabulous.
I grow a variety of orchids, phals, paphs, phrags, catts, oncids, etc. Mostly hybrids, but a couple species thrown in there for good measure. I have about 75 I think on last count.
It's an illness...and when I find a 12 step program, I will join.
I started when I was in 7th grade!!! I'm still learning though...this board is great, lots of awesome information here.
