Editors Notes for July 2010 Welcome to summer in hot steamy Nashville, TN! I hope you guys that are located in hot places are staying hydrated! It is beyond hot here in Nashville at this time.

Editor’s Notes – August 2009

I am sitting on my back deck, coffee in hand, writing this month’s Editor’s Notes. Today, I want to talk about Preparation.
