This weekend is homecoming at Auburn,
and I spent the day there today at an advisory board meeting.
Driving home, I came to the simple realization:
Auburn is one of my favorite places on earth.

Homecoming
Commercial Break
We try not to talk too much business here. Pretty sure you get enough of that stuff all day long. But we are excited to share the news that our PR firm has been named agency of record for Farm Rich. And since this new client has “farm” in its name, we figure it’s just fine to give them a nice plug here. Learn more about their products at Farm Rich Fun, follow them on Twitter, or “like” them on Facebook. First up, a really cool promotion we’ll be doing in Cincinnati starting at the end of this month…then we’ll roll into 2011 handling national PR for this great brand. (Their famous cheese sticks and the mini quesadillas are our kids’ favorites so far.) So friends, next time you pass your grocery’s freezer cases, please look for the Farm Rich logo and buy plenty! 🙂
Fab 5-0
Happy birthdays to our friends Catherine Powell and John Huss, who celebrated their 50th birthdays this year with a fabulous bike trip through Tuscany. Want to add this idea to your own bucket list? Here’s how: www.ciclismoclassico.com, or on Facebook.
I Want My RFD-TV
The other weekend I was admiring this handy hay bale-lifter/thing-a-ma-jiggy at Lana’s farm and she told me our friend Debra gave it to her last Christmas. She said Debra found it on RFD-TV (Channel 345). Of course, Lana and Debra both have DIRECTV, which has this all-things-you-need-to-know-about-farming channel…while us poor Comcast suckers in the city have never even heard of it. So I told Mike this is further proof we must dump Comcast and go DIRECT. Because as you probably have surmised by now, when we’re at Our Green Acres we need all the help we can get.

Now that’s comfort food
Do you sometimes just crave tater tots? Then we’ve got a casserole for you. Anne Thomas, a recent UNC grad and rising PR superstar (who just happens to work for our firm), shared something special with us: her mom’s recipe for Tater Tot Casserole, which has been Anne’s fav since she was a tot herself. Since moving to ATL from NC, Anne makes this dish for her roomies and they all love it. Last week we road-tested it with Adrian D’Avanzo and it passed with flying, er, taters.
TATER TOT CASSEROLE
