Where’s the peanut butter?!

My old manager and his wife just finished their first full marathon this weekend in Arizona. Results are up (bibs 2293 and 5132) and it looks like they did everything I could have hoped they would do in the race:

• finished! - this is really an awesome achievement
• hit a pretty even pace - sub-10’s overall with an ~15 minute positive split on the race
• did not beat my PR

Anyway - congratulations!! Curtis - I know you’ve come a long way from Capitol City and even longer from that Fundamentals team donut picture.

I wish I’d read this guide on amaryllis care earlier. Mine was definitely not planted deeply enough in the soil and now I get the exciting news that after the blooms start to droop you might be able to get new blooms if you cut back the stems! I cut mine back this morning, but that was after it tipped out of the pot twice and after the stems had been drooping for probably a week and a half. Whatever happens, these are terrific flowers and my white one (pictured) has still done remarkably better than another red one I bought from Ikea.
