Lately, the weather has not been acceptable. I live in Sunny and Warm South Florida. It seems like Canada kicked some cold front down here. I hate it, my bees hate it.

Brendhan

Tempting, tempting. It is in conflict with an expedition to Brazil, however.

Bear in mind at the converence that you will have 1000% more people watch it from youtube than in person.  So I recommend you find someone with a HD camera and man it for the entire conference.

Besides there is nothing like real and in person. Hands on Baby!

I will probably record a good bit of it. But I am not sure how much. I would like people to attend not watch from afar.

I am so excited to be coming, Brendhan.  I just made lotion bars to practice for one of my workshops - I've never made them before and I'm going crazy - they are FABULOUS.  I know I'm supposed to make lotion/hand cream, but I'm going to talk about these as well and bring some to try.

Hope to meet some of you face to face!

Someone really ought to tell them that the world of Ayn Rand?s novel was not meant to be aspirational.

We will be uploading pictures, hopefully before the drinking starts.

Anyone got bail money for Alan?
