title: The blossoms and the weeds.
abstract: As attested by the articles in this issue and the papers given at the festschrift, I have had the privilege of working with a talented group of people. In this article, a critique is given on the bouquet of themes that have bound many of us together, sorting the blossoms from some of the weeds. A brief description is then given of how these themes are working out in our current research on categorization.
