Must Keep Moving.

Busy. I can't sit still at home or work. No naps, just running from one job to the next. Must keep moving. That energy sapping virus that was hanging on all winter must have moved on also. It has been replaced by the long sought after spring fever. Energy is a great thing. Hope it hangs around. That sums it up.

Work is frantic. Potting, pruning, fertilizing and pollinating. Forget the stupid paperwork or answering the phone. Spring is crazy but wonderful. Things are starting to grow. Several pothos and philly mutants are looking good. Must increase them fast for evaluation. The work is slow since every move must be recorded and labelled. Must keep moving.

Will finally start doing some long term tissue culture research with a new lab person. It will fill in the missing links. We now will be able to start the mutants from scratch and follow their life cycles from the lab through the greenhouse finishing phase. There are many new discoveries to be found in the next couple of years. Seeds are coming from new plants. Must keep moving.

So everything is great. Got a little tired today finally. Must rest during this rainy night so I can hit is hard tomorrow. Have 75 different Aglaonema hybrids to propagate for disease resistance research. My new propagation chambers are almost full and we will need more. Must keep moving.

Would like to go surf fishing but too busy. Maybe next week if weather breaks. Has been too windy lately. Just like the little fishes I have to keep moving. Am moving to the couch now so catch you later. I love the spring.
