From this Photo that Adam took of my Violin and Guitar together:

Two days of ruminant mineral chelation complexes and equine inflammation mechanisms. Enzymatic suppression techniques for in-vitro research and swine reproductive health. Yup, hang on to your hats, boys and girls, it’s the 23rd annual Eastern Animal Nutrition Conference.

It’s friday morning and I am supposed to be taking notes on how there is virtually no published research on the copper requirements of poultry (shame, eh?) but I find my mind wandering. Don’t get me wrong, I love my day job and I am damn good at it (heh heh) but it’s been a long two days, and it’s hard to concentrate. Doesn’t help that it is as cold as Manitoba in here.

Crap! Why the sub-zero temperature? I feel like I should light a campfire to keep warm, but I think it might distract the lecturer if I whip out a tinder box and kindling. Plus, I forgot my girl-scout preparedness kit in the hotel room. It’s so cold in here I am actually drinking coffee to warm up, and I hate coffee. UG! OH GOD! Never mind, I’m not drinking that. Ack.

The lecturer talking right now looks like Dumbledore, but I can’t imagine Dumbledore talking about serology and salmonella screening. He’s a microbiology Dumbledore. Accio bacterial plating medium!

Ack! Why did I take another sip of that coffee? I had already established that it tasted like ink.

Okay, I really should pay attention now. I’ll be back in town tonight and planning on taking some new pictures of items for the shop, so here is a teaser, while I get back to listening to a talk about cattle reproduction and trying not to giggle.
