THE stately chrysanthemum, one of nature’s noblest flowers, harbors a dark secret. It enjoys pain. Moar

Wow! Wish I could see this in person.

I was about to reply with "Yes. What vgqn said!" Then I had my DUH moment -- I can see this in person. Not only that, next weekend I'll be just 55 miles away instead of the usual 140 miles.

So, yeah, wow! If next week goes well, I can even time it to join Edie's knitting group in Yorktown Heights next Thursday night as we ramp up to Rhinebeck and see Kiku: The Art of the Japanese Garden on Friday -- $5 less, and less crowded, too. Double win.

Plus, the exhibition includes Toad Lilies! As if I needed another reason....

Thanks, Larry!
