It’s a little dark in Monduel’s for the iSight camera on the Mac but it’ll work. We’re just hanging out here and chatting with our friends in agrimarketing. If you think this is a good idea let me know and maybe we can set up an AgWired meetup at a location near you. I think this might be my last …

ABEF Golf Tournament Underway
The golfers for the ABEF tournament got off to a good start this afternoon. Even with the clouds and chilly breeze I’m sure they’d all say they prefer to be out on the course. In fact, the sun did finally come out. I won’t be at the tournament dinner/awards tonight but will try to get some photos from it. I’m …

Today has started off a little wet outside from the …
Settling In At the Hyatt
Here’s what Monduel’s, the Hyatt Atrium Bar, looks like from my floor. Keeping in mind that we’re going to have an AgWired Meetup tomorrow evening from 5-7pm here, just take the escalator up to the 2nd level and you’re there. Yes, I’m here in Dallas and ready for the games to begin. I’ve already started a photo album for you …
