Thats a damn nice photo. Congratulations on being a centerfold.
I was starting to wonder where you were Al. I haven't heard from you in quite some time. I hope everything is well with you and yours. Thank you for you kind words.

Oh...I'm around. Had a terrible loss with eleven trees turning brown during a sprinkler timer failure. Been taking care of my wife and now my Dad is going thru treatment for bladder cancer. I got my hands full, and it ain't with trees.....

I was afraid something like this was going on. My prayers always for you. Thanks for taking the name to mention my meaningless little news. You're a good man and deserve the best.

Well I just received my calendar.
I am happy to report that yes, Vance's tree is the May tree,
but....
I am very disappointed to report that Vance's tree has been mislabled as a European larch.....

Are you kidding me?? I thought only the club I belong to can mislabel my trees when they post to a public site. My club mislabeled my Hinoki Cypress as a Scots Pine. It's a conspiracy that's what it is. Even when you provide them with the information as directed they get it wrong. Maybe because my needles are so short they cannot comprehend that the tree is really a Pine but a Larch instead.

Wow, Vance!! All these years you were actually working on Larches, not Mugo Pines at all!!!

Actually, that explain a lot! No wonder they don't do well here in the South!!

Lol!!!

(Everyone understands that I'm just kidding, right?)

I am starting to feel like the Rodney Dangerfield and George Gobel of Bonsai; I get no respect, and I feel like a pair of brown shoes in a world full of Tuxedos.

I can't believe they mislabeled it, crazy:confused:
I mean, really...
They're supposed to be some kind of professionals, putting a calendar out there...
They expect people to pay money for it, they ought to do their homework.
That's like a muscle car calendar with a camaro labeled as a mustang.
Unreal.
