Didn't Gertrude Stein say of Moncton, "There is no there, there." Or maybe she was speaking of Oakland...anyway welcome back Graeme.

I hate small talk. Ask questions that probe. express relief at my return. lead a chorus of praise.
But no. it's a pallid 'how was the trip?'

Gertrude Stein was right about Moncton. But it would have been equally right if she had been talking about Ottawa.

@Graeme Decarie what was the most intellectual part of your trip? (welcome back!)

I was in Ottawa. There is no intellect in Ottawa.

Hey, my son is going to university there (in fact, I will be there to visit him next weekend) and I can guarantee you there is intellect in at least his dorm room.

A university with intellect?
How unusual! I usually find them stuffed with egos.
If I had only known what I know now, I would have worked on my faith healing, and now be enjoying a lush retirement.

The exception that proves the rule true.

BethA what do you do with pit. in dirt? in water?

I usually started with the pit in a jar - suspended with toothpicks - so 2/3rds is under water - keep it wet! - till it sprouted and then put in a pot of dirt...but it has also worked with just putting the pit in a pot of dirt - make sure dirt is kept moist...the best luck I had was starting the pits in spring and then putting the pots outside in a very sunny spot for the summer - making sure they had leafed out before bringing inside in the fall.

The Ottawa visit was a wonderful chance to see my Chinese granddaughter. At 13, she's a gymnast - and it's quite astonishing. The training is intense. I was exhausted just watching it.

So far I have had no luck with starting things from the fruit available at the store. Congrats to those of you who do. One of my sons has some trees going - lemon and orange - two or three of each.

All advanced level sports are demanding. I find gymnastics a bit mind boggling - I struggle to pick something up off the floor! My sister's kids were really into it. The boys quit in favour of playing soccer. A niece was on a potential Olympic track and loving it. When she watched her friend fall from the uneven bars and break her back my niece quit - cold turkey.
