Just stopping in to say "Hi"

[Optimist]

I haven't been around for a while. I started a new Master's degree, and got about halfway through and decided it was not for me. Don't like it. So I went to the School staff and was invited to work for a Doctorate. I think it will do more for me than another Master's. The Doctorate is a Doctor of Management, so it is not one of the heavy experimental Ph.D.

I had to reduce my orchid collection severely. Right now I have only the hardiest of the plants. Sadly, I will be keeping my collection to only small sized orchids for the time being, and probably less than 10. Strangely enough one of the plants doing the best is Cattleya walkeriana. Some people have problems with that one. I have found that that thing will not die no matter what, but as of yet, it has not bloomed for me. Plant-wise I have concentrated more on my outdoor garden which is mostly irises and daylilies.

Lastly, I started to produce more artwork, (animal and wildlife metal -- bronze, aluminum, etc.) and have been spending most of my time either on school work or sculpture.

I'll come back to see if there are any responses. Hope someone remembers me.
