Back from the NAVTP Forum and had a great time. It was nice to see everyone out in San Francisco. All the presentations were really good. Each time I attend a conference like this I realize how much I don't know and how much I have to learn. One presentation given by David Cooper covered his escalator accident research data which included videos! These were unbelievable and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. We're going to see if we can coordinate a telephone interview for the show. If you saw these videos your jaw would drop. On some happier news The EESF Silent auction raised $3,000 which was great and everyone have a good time. If you're a consultant and aren't a member of the NAVTP you should consider joining. They are a great group of industry professionals. (Pictured Right: Casimer Cader, Passes Away At 83.)

This weekend the weather was awesome! My neck is sunburn and I'm still sore from all the activities we did. It felt good to be outside sweating in the sun and with my family. I hope that the weather was just as nice in your neck of the woods. This was just the kind of weekend I was looking forward too after a tough week at work. Please consider doing this for me; the recent news of the passing of a good friend of mine has made me realize that we're all one big family. Please give someone a call who you haven't heard from in a while. It could be family or a colleague. Let them know that you're thinking about them and hope that they are doing well.   Everyone enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for tuning in to the show!

It's hard to believe that this is the last full week in March! Where did this month go? I'm ready for April; perhaps it will bring warmer Spring like temperatures to the Midwest. What a mess we have here. It could always be worse. Working from home this week I'm amazed at how much I'm actually getting done. We've got quite a few news stories to talk about today. I narrowed them down from 59. Also we've got our prize pack giveway once again.

It's nice to drive home when its still sunny out! All we need is some warmer weather. As parts of the Midwest and out East are recovering from the snow storm that dumped between 12 - 20" of snow today we just might reach 50 degrees in Chicago! We've got another news packed show today everyone. Still reeling from the week that I missed, there were over sixty stories I had to narrow down. Some very important ones today so stay tuned here it comes! (pictured is the largest sheet of nanotubes in the world....we've got a long way to creating a space elevator)

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today as we in the Midwest continue to freeze with wind chills of seven below this morning. There are 2-3 stories worthy of printing out today depending on your elevator status; contractor, mechanic, consultant etc. This week the Elevator Escalator Safety Foundation is holding its annual meeting which this year is in Atlanta GA. We hope that they have a productive week of meetings!

Snow is once again falling here in Chicago and the kids and I are making the most of it by building forts, having snowball fights and sledding. I don't remember getting as many snow storms as we have since I was a kid. But I guess everything back then was larger than life. We do have some important news stories to talk about on the show including two important lawsuits and one elevator accident that ended up in a fatality. Plus the Crocs Corporation is back in the lime light! Plus there are a couple of good stories that feature elevator companies. And one aweful one down in Atlanta that will make you sick to watch it!  So many stories this week, so little time!

Great show today everyone as I found over thirty elevator related news stories online and had to cut some of them out. We've got two major announcements on the show today. One will talk about a caption contest we're sponsoring and the other has to do with a new web site that we've launched. Both of which you should enjoy. Hopefully snow isn't falling where you're at as here in Chicago we're heading into our third or fourth winter storm warning. Be safe out there!
