I have a black thumb but I've never managed to kill anything I ordered from them. MIL swears by them. Plants from there are a little pricey but they thrive, come with great follow up instructions and customer support via web and phone.
Cold and wet in Alabama but no snow. It was snowing when we left Chicago yesterday but not bad enough to delay flights. We got to watch the last of the Bears game at the gate in O'Hare. Chicago fans are crazy people.
Chicagoans are crazy in general and they do love Da Bears! I guess it's time to dig out my 20 year old Super Bowl Shuffle record and see if I can find a turn table somewhere! Woo Hoooo Shawn! We got frequent updates on the plane about the Colts game. Sounds like it was a real edge of the seat game!
The expo was amazing. It was nothing like I expected and tons of fun. The team rocked! We're all kinda new to this so it was a great team building experience. My PTO experience came in handy about 500 different ways. We had a way cool booth. "Animal Jim" Feurer casually strolled through our booth and I chatted with him - I can't really remember what I said. I just hope it wasn't anything stupid and was mostly hoping my heart wouldn't explode. Arnie "Farmer" Beswick came by while I was gone but I saw him and his Tameless Tiger Tempest. Gosh, it was like being blessed by the Gods of Drag Racing to have those two give us some attention! It sure helped to have the company's flagship, a bright orange 1740hp (on pump gas) Caprice Station Wagon in the booth. Check it out at

and be sure to click on the link to the Hot Rod article. Mr. Morris started and grew the business over the past few years and we only recently bought it. It's going to be a ton of fun finding out how much we'll be able to build it from here!
OK, I know I'm going on way too much. I'm still on the weekend long adrenaline high, or maybe it was all the fumes in the convention center. Now it's time to calm down, gather up all of our notes from the weekend and start calling people back.
