Well, actually... it's "Good evening, Mrs. President-elect".  This isn't any sort of political welcome, but a celebration as my official transformation from "the Jennie-you-know-and-love" to "the wife".  Not just any wife, but the wife of an elected official.  The President-elect of the Information Technology Committee of the American Feed Industry Association.  I know it's a little intimidating, but really it's still just us.

Right now Marty is getting ready to head to his first official meeting as the President-elect.  I'm going to spend this time getting ready to go to my first meet-and-greet social.  From my keen observations in the hotel lobby, it looks to me like I might be the youngest person in attendance... and also the only woman.  I thought this was the kind of thing where other spouses (read: wives) would be in attendance, but it looks like this boys club might have left the other ladies behind.  Maybe I better spend some of this time brushing up on my agricultural and feed industry terminology.

Tomorrow I'm attending the following conferences:
1.  Traceability, Technology and the Supply Chain
2.  Track & Trace: RFID
3.  Homeland Security and Traceabilty - this one given by someone from the Department of Homeland Security.

Me, livestock feed and homeland security.  I know, isn't that funny?
