CONCURRENCE –
"Life forms illogical patterns. It is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return? – Margot Fonteyn (1919-1991) English Ballet Dancer
I had problems finding the right word to describe what is going on next week. I finally found “concurrence” of which one of its meanings is a simultaneous occurrence. How do you simply describe the assembly of these seemingly totally unrelated events – Super Bowl Sunday (and without Roman numerals to boot), Chinese Lunar New Year (#4713 - Year of the Red Fire Monkey), Mardi Gras (and subsequent Ash Wednesday and Lent) and the continuing visible planetary alignment of Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars and Jupiter. Add in the first real primary vote for this year’s presidential election (New Hampshire) and you have a lot happening in a very short week. I noticed all this first when making up the annual family calendar and it just awed me that such major events could just align themselves one day after another. Does it mean anything? Of course not. But it does raise some good water cooler/coffee pot conversations. And there are always some that think it does mean something more. For instance, according to the Chinese Five Elements Horoscopes, Monkey contains Metal and Water. Metal is connected to gold. Water is connected to wisdom and danger. Therefore, we will deal with more financial events in the year of the Monkey. Monkey is a smart, naughty, wily and vigilant animal. If you want to have good return for your money investment, then you need to outsmart the Monkey. Metal is also connected to the Wind. That implies the status of events will be changing very quickly. Think twice before you leap when making changes for your finance, career, business relationship and people relationship. And don’t forget that, supposedly, if the NFC team (Carolina Panthers) wins the Super Bowl, it will be a Bull Market; alternatively if the AFC (Denver Broncos) wins, then a Bear Market. By the way, I am rooting for Carolina mainly because, I just don’t like teams that beat my favorites. And of course, for Mardi Gras, just say “Laissez les bons temps rouler.” Let the good times roll!

COINCIDENCE – 
Four expectant fathers pace in a hospital waiting room while their wives are in labor. The nurse enters and tells the first man, "Congratulations, you're the father of twins."

"What a coincidence," the man says. "I work for the Minnesota Twins baseball team."

A little later, the nurse returns and tells the second man, "You are the father of triplets."

"That's really an incredible coincidence," he answers. "I work for the 3M Corporation."

An hour later, the nurse tells the third man that his wife has just given birth to quadruplets.

The man says, "I don't believe it! I work for the Four Seasons. What a coincidence."

After hearing this, everyone's attention turns to the fourth guy who has just fainted. He slowly regains consciousness and whispers, "I should have never taken that job at Millennium Computers."

WHOSE EXTRUDER DO YOU WANT? –
Some companies are better known than others for certain items. Over the many years that I have been in the industry, the US extruder manufacturer with the most respected name has been Davis Standard. Going into the standard database that we have, there are over 400 entries of plastic extruders just for the Davis Standard brand. Plus there are a chunk of their rubber extruders. Below is a short list of cleaned and painted Davis Standard plastics extruders ready to go. Head for www.wireandplastic.com and input the Item # in the search field to get additional info and to see photos. Then send in online quote request or email/phone us direct for pricing.

GETTNG READY FOR GERMANY
The Wire Show in Dusseldorf will be happening on April 4-8 and of course, given the significance of this show and its distance away from us, means a lot of advance planning. As the booth has literally doubled in size from previous years and is now an island of its own, it has taken a bit of discussion to come up with the optimum layout to handle the traffic flow and to ensure that we are able to talk with everyone that comes by. The booth number has changed to 9E20 but is essentially in the same location as before. Please contact us ahead of time so we can schedule and prepare significant discussion time for your upcoming projects. I’ll give a bit more feedback on the booth design next month. I hear the Alts calling my name!!
