because I never did well at gardening except when Mother was there to spread her magic green thumb around while she had a cane in one hand and a hoe in the other. Photography just bored me.

I don't like birds anymore because my favorite niece (born on my 20th bday) died of cryptoccol meningitis, which is be caused by bird droppings.

I wasn't really looking for suggestions, just wanted to whine a bit.
