... believe me, I identify with them: looking their very best to seem cheerful, but actually drooping somewhat.
In the corner of our sitting room, they weren't the only tulips I saw today: at the retirement event for Karen Halttunen and Richard Fox, there was a big bunch of decidedly more sprightly tulips on the lectern. Somewhere hidden in their depths was a microphone: not, alas, to amplify the voices of the speakers to the room (room 240 in the Doheny Library has never been known for its audibility), but to capture the sound to accompany the video. It was well disguised among the petals.
