Nice to celebrate Homecoming, briefly in Iowa City: Anniversary of sorts this past weekend with Iowa vs. Michigan in several ways ...

It's nice to be Cedar Rapids today after a busy week of work, travel, family and College Football. Offers an opportunity to get caught up on some things, as well and rejoice on the enjoyable week of work, travel, family and College Football ...

• Monday, busy back in the office after a brief illness the previous week


• Tuesday through Friday: Exhibited at the ISSA-Interclean 2009 Show in Chicago, IL USA


• Visiting with Family while mobile throughout the week

It was nice to visit about the Iowa vs. Michigan game at the show with various vendors, customers and visitors at ISSA-Interclean, especially those who had ties to the State of Michigan. The past week was very busy for both companies: ttrco and tuckerusa

Iowa (6-0, 2-0 in the Big Ten) will hit the road for two weeks, with games upcoming @ Wisconsin and @ Michigan State. It's nice to add another great weekend and Homecoming to our resume.

The Marching Band season is wrapping up for the Washington H.S. band. We sadly didn't get to Valley this year, but it was a great game at Kinnick on Saturday night.
