I’m excited. I haven’t slept in a couple days. My biggest event of the year is finally here. Months of organizing coming down to my printing name tags early this morning and driving the hour and a half to our venue, the amazing Cache Creek Casino and Resort and their fantastic golf course, Yocha-De-He. I’m sure this means Monkey Creek in some Native American language. Or not. There’s a pool and a pond. The pond is best for me, I think.

Dr. Bruce Clarke from Rutgers is first up for education. Talking about Fairy Ring and Pink Snow Mold. The games begin and I’ll be posting any highlights if I can do so and finish my talk which is supposed to happen in a few hours. I don’t really have it done yet. I’ve started and stopped a few times.
