  It's crop rotation and pick your favorite floral cliche time! I've repotted myself in familiar soil. Going back to roots to spread my creative fertilizer with those who don't think my ideas are just well, a pile, of fertilizer.
  And I'll have some time to have a life and stalk interesting strangers and ask them questions (or as I like to call it: freelance for The Washington Post Magazine).
