Ducks in a Row

As the number of posts last month can attest, I've been feeling a bit out of sorts and out of focus. But February will be different. It's off to a great start. I've got my billing out to my clients and on my other site Get Your Grill On, I've already edited and published this week's posts. I'm off and running. It feels good to be ahead of the curve again.

There's a few things I need to bring to your attention. Some of you have noticed that the posts for this year's Grillin' On The Bay contest are no longer available on my blog. Well, there's a reason for that; we lost our venue. We're still working to bring GOTB back for 2008, but right now we don't have a home or a date. I'll let you know as soon as we secure both.

If you're feeling lucky, take a trip over to my buddy Eric Devlin's blog, Home of BBQ. Eric is holding a contest where the winner will take home some of Woody's BBQ Sauce, a tee-shirt, some other swag from Woody's and a special prize from Eric himself.

My friend Matt Fisher is off working on opening his restaurant, Wild Wood which will be a part of the B R Guest empire. I'm really happy for him and his success, but I miss talking with him on a regular basis. But in the end, everything will payoff handsomely as I'll have another barbecue restaurant to frequent.

Speaking of long lost friends, I wonder where Rob Richter will turn up now that he's left Hill Country. Unfortunately Robbie's not offering any hints, but I'm sure wherever it is the Que will be worth the wait.

So that's all the news I have for today. Ill talk with you again soon.
