Happy Valentine's Day!

Well it's been a little over a month since my last entry.  Quite a bit has happened since then.  I'll give you a cycleWood update first.

We went up to our research lab in Dayton and put together a plan for moving forward.  We had laid the groundwork in the months prior and with the help of our lignin adviser we have refined that plan and have a solid path forward.  Basically it boils down to more testing.  That's probably all I can say about that at this point.

February is going to be a busy travel month for Kevin and I.  We're headed down to New Orleans tomorrow for the Informex trade show.  It's one of the chemical industry's largest shows.  Next week we are headed down to Little Rock and Dallas.

Now the exciting news.  We've been selected as a finalist for the Edison Awards.  This quite an honor.  Some of the other finalists are Kraft, GE Healthcare, Proctor&Gamble, Nissan, Ford, and OnStar.  So you can see we are in good company.

Now lets get to some Walton College news.  This years incoming class is the largest class ever at 46.  I got a chance to meet some of them during orientation and they seem excited and full of energy.  We'll see what their demeanor is around midterms.  The Spring Social is Thursday at the Powerhouse.  I believe it starts at 6pm.  If you're interested in getting an MBA, even a little, you should show up.  Unfortunately I won't be there since we'll be in New Orleans.  It's always a good time.

As always, I'll try to post more frequently, but the trend for the past few months have been one post a month.  Maybe I'll try to double that this month.  We shall see. Until then....

Happy Valentine's Day!
