The first soup show of the season is in the books. Beth and I worked at the Depuy craft show at Lakeview Middle School on Saturday. We were in the foyer area instead of the gym, which I don't know if that was good or bad, but things opened up at 8:00 and while it was never swamped, it never got dead either. Traffic was light-ish but constant, so in the end we sold about 56 jars of soup. That's similar to what we would sell at the Brethren church craft show, which is next weekend. The good news is that Beth made plenty for both shows, so no need to make more this coming week. Especially chili. For some reason, the chili did not sell... we sold one jar all day. That was even with a pot of it for tastes. Most people declined to even taste it. Oh well, more for the next show, I guess. 

On Tuesday I gave a presentation at work. About poly! I am the poly guy. I don't even remember who, but at some point in the past year someone from an NPI group was asking me about poly, and I got some feedback that it might be good to educate everyone in the group about the same stuff. I volunteered with the group leadership to do a talk, so I spent an hour talking about the history, chemistry, and different types of orthopedic polyethylene, with a focus on all the different flavors of UHMWPE that ZB has. Fascinating stuff, if you're into that sort of thing.
