Have a great birthday, Aftab!

When my son was 11, he saw Eddie George at the barbershop, getting a special trim just before Heisman Trophy dinner in 1995.

This was the "take-home point" emphasized by my botany professor back in college -- a guy who explored the world for indigenous uses of plants and was famous for investigating the development of corn in Mexico -- he told this cautionary tale over and over again, to illustrate what a gracious guest might be required to imbibe in the field!
