Hi, gang.

I have Carol's permission to share this anecdote with you.

> Yesterday I got a call from a colleague of Ken's in the British Virgin 
> Islands who had his client, unknown to me, on the line also.  He was 
> calling on a Skype phone and they are notoriously BAD.  Ken has one.  
> He asked me what I was doing when he called.  I told him planting 
> Amaryllis bulbs.  He asked where I got them.  I told him I ordered 
> them on-line.  He said I can't believe you actually paid for them and 
> that they even sell them.  Now I was confused.  He asked how many I 
> got and how much they cost.  I told him I ordered nearly $300.00 worth 
> and I was keeping 20 and giving the others away as Christmas 
> presents.  He asked what I was going to do with them and I told him I 
> was going to use them as models in my new series of paintings.  By 
> then he was about choking.  I was even more confused.
>
> Well, when he hung up he called Ken in Rio and told him how much he 
> enjoyed talking to me and how entertaining I was and that is certainly 
> some interesting art I was doing. Poor Ken had to call to find out 
> what was going on.  Bill didn't hear Amaryllis Bulbs, he heard 
> Armadillo Balls.
