IT IS A FULL TIME JOB! A labor of love, for sure. Running a business, even such a tiny business as this, is (hopefully) going to add years to my (useful) life. When I retired 3+ years ago, having worked since I was 15 years old, I was lost. I mean, after all, what does one do for years, doing nothing? My wife will tell one and all that I am a terrible businessman. She says, and its very true, that I would much rather talk about growing/propagating tropical plants than actually sell them. That's just the way I am. Lots of hot air. Whistling I thank God that he allowed me to practice dentistry for 42 years and also thank him for giving me a hobby that I love, and one that I could spend the rest of my life nurturing. I even get to help people, but now its with plant problems rather than mouth problems. Hurray!

You know, almost every single night I still dream about dentistry, usually problems that never get solved. I never dream about my plants. A psychiatrist would probably diagnose something terrible. Sighing!

The reason it's so hard to lose weight when you get up in age is because your body and your fat have become good friends.
