It's that time again. Nora and I pretty much look at Lebanon and Nationals last year as the start of our hard-core rabbitry efforts, and I really liked the show last year. Besides seeing a bunch of y'all and having a great Flemish dinner out at the diner, we had a great time hanging out later with the judges and it was good watching the youth show kids having a good time down the hall in the ballroom at the Quality Inn (between sips of adult beverage in the lounge).
So, who's headed to Lebanon? What're you bringing? We are bringing the new kits born in early December, who are all just fabulous sandy Flemish, all right around five pounds, though we're not showing them. Some of last year's girls are pregnant, so they're not going, and Bess is probably not in show shape, but the big boys like Gunther, who we got last year at Lebanon from Frank & Judie Welch and who is now both a daddy (of the December 2009 kits) and a Grand Champion will be there.
I will not be 100%. I don't know how many of you heard, but at a conference in Florida last week I was stricken with some mystery chest pain which they initially thought might be angina. I recovered from it and drove home to Maryland only to get nailed even worse almost as soon as I got home. Nora took me to the emergency room, and 24 hours later surgeons relieved me of what they described as "a very inflamed gall bladder." The pain had really been something, so I am really glad they figured it out and got rid of it. I came home this morning. Pain medication is a good thing.
So, I may not be able to help put wabbits up on the table as quick as usual, but I'll be there and try to make use of myself.
Sound off if you're going!

I will likely have my white board with me, but not sure. Either way, my stuff will say "Oak Ridge Rabbitry" somewhere.
