Friday morning I'm on my way to my first Blade Show over in Atlanta. Tonight I feel like a kid having to go to bed on the night before Christmas. Been to quite a few knife shows over the years, but never been to the mother of- before. I can't wait. I'm gonna savor every moment.

Y'all watch over the community while I'm gone, OK? Remember our Neighborhood Watch Program. Also, help make sure you welcome any new members who join too. I know you'll make them feel right at home and show will them around for me.

I plan on doing some "reporting" while I'm there, just don't know exactly how I"m going to share my experience back with you yet. But don't worry.....I'll figure something out :)

I hope to meet some of the "big wigs" from the knife companies you guys like, especially the ones who are represented by our various Groups here. Gonna try to get them to come meet their fans here at iKC. Wish me luck.

I'll be in touch. If any thing comes up J. J. Smith knows how to reach me :)
