So I didn’t really hibernate all weekend (see yesterday’s blog post). We actually decided a week or so ago that it had been way too long since we’ve seen our niece/goddaughter, Miss Morgan. We took matters into our own hands and basically told my sister and brother-in-law that we planned…
It’s taken me 72 hours of mini-hibernation but I think I’m finally catching up on my sleep. Last Monday I took off for Saint Paul, where my office started set up for the 45th annual Midwest Poultry Federation Convention – the largest show focused solely on the poultry industry in…

My mother gave me many good pieces of advice as I was growing up. I’d like to think I followed her direction on most occasions; that her insight has, in part, gotten me where I am today. There is one piece of advice, however, that I didn’t follow and it was…
