Keith asked me to let you all know about a survey he is doing to help plan for a potential ALM Summit later this year. We did the first one last year and it went pretty well.

I hope you all had a great holiday break and new year. I just posted my first post since mid December. I actually took a pretty sizable break from work this year and really didn't do any work at home other than skim mail to avoid being buried when I got back :) It was a good break for me - lots of family time and plenty of farm wo...
