The debate is on...
Yesterday B and I traveled to the Capital City. B participated in a debate with the Alabama Farmer's Federation. He and other members of the Young Farmer's debated on issues affecting agriculture today. We practiced his opening statement the night before and on the way to the debate. B did a lot of research for the debate, he even had a quote from Thomas Edison, "Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work". I sat in the back, so I wouldn't distract him. He did a wonderful job! When the scores were tallied, he was on top! So we're off to Mobile soon for another debate. If he wins that one, he goes to nationals in San Antonio in January! I am so glad that Brett joined Young Farmer's it has given him the opportunity to meet farmers from all types from the Heart of Dixie.

Congratulations to Brett and to you for coaching him! I loved the line where you said you sat in the back, so you wouldn't distract him!
