I am Bloodhound hear me howl! Or, something like that. I went to a farm forum yesterday and learned about the state of farming in Ohio. I think Ohio is returning to it’s agricultural roots. We are becoming the Green Belt, and I welcome that change. You have my permission to snicker at corn fie...

Since Greg welcomed me aboard BHB last week, ideas have been racing through my head.  What would I write about first? CRM execution tactics? Too predictable. Skinned cats? I’ll leave that to my favorite cat skinner. Then it occurred to me last night:  why not dive right in with an example of...

A few things that are almost posts.  Wanted to put the thoughts into the Echo Chamber, quote song lyrics, and rock my baby Ruby to sleep since pretty Heather is all sick and stuff.   So here’s the best of my drafts. [1] You’re Jammin‘ Me. I’m opting out of the political sp...
