I apologize in advance that I’m not going to be able to write a completely coherent blog post about Thanksgiving week.

I found myself smack dab in the middle of all these amazing social media rock stars/AgNerds who are on Twitter, […] Read more…
So the thing about starting a blog is – I’m ridiculously nervous about it. I want the title to be exactly right and the design to look “like me”.
