Gary is the guy, that when you meet him, you know you are meeting one of the few and far between that are "Ture"
True to his passions.
True to his gal
True to his word..
It has been one of the greatest pleasure to meet you through your huney Jenn, and see the two of you smile.
hugs and thanks for being one of the "Gary's" out there that inspired a "To Gary" tribe and mindset.

Although Gary is fervent in his no littering campaign, he is also a lovely and patient person.
He is the nicest and kindest man I have ever met and he is passionate in his love of beautiful flowers--he attends to them like his own children and it is heartening to watch.
He's also my best friend, future husband, and kindred spirit--a fellow music lover who enjoys the nuances of different types of musical styles, and a fellow human who loves and tolerates humanity, despite all their flaws.
I love you, my dear--you are "da bomb", as the kids say.
thanks for bringing so much joy into my life!

I got accepted by the San Mateo/San Francisco Counties Master Gardener program, which is run through the UC Cooperative Extension program. I've really been looking forward to this and had been waiting on needles and pins to hear back from them. It's going to mean that I'm going to be doing a lot of volunteer hours in 2009 and Jenn and I still have to find time to volunteer at the Cactus Garden at Stanford. Classes begin September 3. Whoo hoo!

Before I dropped Jenn off at work this afternoon we paid a visit to the Stanford University campus. I was very excited (naturally) to see the Arizona Garden, AKA the cactus garden. This garden had some very old and well established plants, including prickly pair, golden barrel and saguaro. There were also several very large draceana trees. Most of the draceana had their trunks lying along the ground, rather than standing upright. This was the first time I've really seen something like this an...

The San Francisco Succulent and Cactus Society held their annual show and sale today at the county fair building in Golden Gate Park. The SF Bromeliad Society also set up shop with them and they put on a pretty good show. The actual show itself was pretty small, but was judged by show attendees which I thought was pretty cool. The sale part was well stocked as always. Didn't buy anything though because I really didn't see anything I didn't already have or that moved me in such a way that I h...

And by dope, I don't mean good old fashioned, wholesome drugs like marijuana. I'm talking like.... heroin. 91 freakin' degrees here in San Carlos and this girl is walking around with her hoodie on with the hood pulled all the way up over her head. And it sure isn't the first time I've seen this recently. Young martyrs looking to make a fashion statement? I remember how hard it is to be a teenager, but when we were their age we proudly displayed our individuality by not hiding the fact that we...

Jenn and I just got back from the East Coast where we spent two weeks. The flight over and the events that surrounded it went surprisingly smooth…. until we got to the Alamo car rental agency at the Boston-Logan airport. I knew in advance that if I took their insurance it would cost more than the price of the rental itself. I’d called Geico to make sure that they covered rental cars, which they did. What the agent neglected to tell me was that they did not in fact actually cover THE ENTIRE S...
