BASF Wine Tasting
BASF is into just about everything, including wine. We toured the compnay’s Weinfachgeschaft, which handles about a million bottles of wine a year – about 2,000 different labels.

Traveling to Guelph
It’s a travel day for me and a better one than Cindy had yesterday I hope. She’s on her way (maybe there?) to Germany but had flight cancellations and delays that were hard to believe and added many hours to her trip. Me, I’m on the way to Guelph, Canada to teach a new media class for ag communications grad …
