Hey, I'm not actually "new", just gone for about 5 weeks after being
"downsized" and buying a new home computer, setting up an e-mail address,
etc.  The nom-de-plume derives from chronic sore feet I've been fighting for
the past year, although some might claim it to be a fair assessment of my
abilities.

I live in southern California (San Juan Capistrano, zone 9b), and have for
most of my life.  The weather's nice, but when I moved 6 years ago it took 6
months to find a house on a lot large enough for flowerbeds (a little better
than 1/3 acre).  Been working on a massive backyard project the last 2-3
years, with a lagoon-style swimming pool and a slope terraced with raised
beds for planting.  All the sprinkler work is a nightmare (more so given my
problem feet), but I'm making progress.  Can't have a yard without iris.
I've been growing them for about 12-13 years, and dabbling seriously (though
limited) with hybridizing.  I have about 300 different TB's and 30
louisianas, mostly newer stuff.  My favorite hybridizer is Joe Ghio (Double
Click has had an extra-well branched stalk blooming for about 4 weeks now);
I also love stuff by Blyth, Hager, Keppel, etc.

Well, now to hit the job postings looking for MEMS or Optomechanical
Engineer listings.
