Hola, Loyal Readers and Listeners!

I just got back at midnight from Cali, Colombia, where I gave a speech (no, not on college football!).  So, no Bacon Blog today, but there is a lot going on, and since I’ve done such a poor job updating the Events tab on my website (okay, no job at all!), here are a few things you might want to know about.  I’ll be updating (he says again) the events this weekend, too.
