An Exciting Week!

A most special "thank you" to Dr. Jackie Savoca, Executive Director of Coatings Research Group, Inc., CRGI, who inspired me to attend the incredible American Coatings Show in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I was surprised when an exhibitor asked me to autograph an article on smart coatings published in the February/March 2010, issue of the APCJ: Asia Pacific Coatings Journal.

I was pleased to meet the Senior Editor of PPCJ: Polymer Paints Colour Journal, Sue Tyler, at the international show in Charlotte.

While catching up on my email I read that the Library of Congress is digitizing all tweets since Twitter's inception in March 2006 -- see:

As I catch up on tweets, I am viewing the tremendous cloud from the eruption of the volcano in Iceland on T.V., wonder how my new international and U.S. friends will get home from the show with many flights cancelled per volcanic ash, and continue to be in awe of the forces of nature.
