Happy Sunday morning from MO! For the past couple of days I have spent a lot of time in my car, therefore I have been able to make a dent in listening to the 100s of podcasts I have in my iPhone. Yes, I said iPhone and you need one! That is all I am going to say at this time. More on the iPhone on another post.

The presentations are limited to 20 min. this year and I have been able to get throught 3 at the gym the past two days.
