Wake up...............

Wake-up! Yea, we have engineers working here at Matthews and every once and awhile they bore us to death in our sales meetings. One of them got a hold of your ear this time. Now it's time to wake-up! I promise I will change the password so they can't get in here anymore.

The one upside is they are here to help. You, our customer if you ever have a need for them so keep that in mind. They can size beams and help you with all kinds of design issues.

So now for a little wisdom, yep we are gonna make you a little smarter just by reading this. I think smarter is a word, if it ain't it ought to be! So here we go, do you realize that Asian people always say a last name first. I learned this today and everybody I have mentioned this too had no ideal.

suzuki ichiro

It started with a conversation about Ichiro Suzuki. Have you ever wondered why he would have his first name on his jersey, no one else in baseball does! As you see I have written his name under his picture the American way.

Now in this picture he doesn't look to happy about it. So I will admit that the way I did it is wrong. Sorry

Mr. Ichiro. I will respect your traditions and write your name as I am supposed too. So the next time you see some reporter ask him a question and say; Ichiro blah blah blah. You will look at the TV and have a little trivia to tell your wife about. Because I bet she doesn't know this fact. You got to admit you always want to look smarter than you really are in front of the wife.

Speaking of wives, he has a pretty hot one. Of course I say that with respect, I don't want him to chase me down with that bat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
