	Wow, I wish I'd known in advance about the JSBA meeting.  7 pm is a little
late for us since we'll still have evening chores to do an hour away.  I
must have missed the notice somewhere.

	I did expect quite a few Jacob breeders, based on how many I saw there
last year.  Black Sheep marks my first full year keeping Jacob Sheep.  I
chose my first sheep there last year.  My spouse learned to do Navaho
Plying from someone at the JSBA booth (we didn't learn to spin until
another month later mind you, but he got plying down pretty quickly!),
whose name really shouldn't be escaping me.  Barb maybe?  I know we talked
to her there quite a bit, but I don't remember if she was who was plying.
