[IBC] *****Happy B'day to me
My birthday book arrived today. (Books are pretty standard gifts
for this bookworm come the holidays and birthdays.) This one's a fun one that I didn't know about before I stumbled across it on an on-line used booksto "Masterpieces of Bonsai" Yoshio Takayanagi, ed. - Shufunotomo/Japan Pub. 1986. It's a picture book. Very little text and, thankfully, NONE of the how-to "stuff" that clutters up most bonsai books (if you've read one, you've just about read them all ;-). Lots of nice pictures of a number of very good (if not absolutely the greatest) Japanese bonsai -- most of them 10 orders of magnitude larger than any I own, but some nice little shohin at the end. (WHY are shohin always relegated to the end of the book?) Anyway, _Many Thanks_ Jackie. ;-) (I don't need to buy HER a B'day gift (her birthday, 9-11, is now celebrated with mine, for obvious reasons) because she just bought herself a BRAND NEW pony cart -- and harness! We already had the pony, or . . . ;-) Bonsai as a hobby is a heckuva lot cheaper than horses as a business! --- Remember that! And let me be the first to wish Bill V. a happy birthday. We share the date (Sept. 3) but _several_ years apart. ;-) He's such a kid! And for everyone heading to his neighborhood next week, you can wish him a belated happy B'day. Wish I could be there.
