Angels and Saints, hope one is Patron Saint of Plastic

If there is a saint for plastics, I am praying to’em.  My hot new prototype is being put together piece by piece so that I can show it to ABC News.  How did I get this incredible gig?  I put my invention through the Merwyn Business Simulator through the Eureka Ranch.  If you are an inventor check this place out.  http://www.planeteureka.org/marketplace/I was encouraged to try it through The RightPlace, a government sponsored group that is trying to ramp up innovations in Michigan in order to turn the crank of manufacturing to create and or save jobs. Now fans( ok, mom), you will know that for my try-out for TLC, Kelly Ripa’s show, I made it to the 2nd round, 2 minute pitch.  My poor overworked prototype broke the night before and was held together, not lying here, gum.  They were cool about it BUT the lesson here is, YOU HAVE TO KEEP GOING, KELLY  RIPA, (or Mark Burnett) IS NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU!  I am so thankful for those unique opportunities but there are more out there.  Back at the Ranch (Eureka that is) my invention was evalutated, not my clothes, or hair,or derrier.  I had a good score, help from one of my RightPlace councelors, and a drive to see the clipcleany get to market.  Hopefully you will all tune in to ABC News July 20 and see my new baby.
