My brother Justin just forwarded me this email he received from Grandma Gross. Randall Gross has abandoned his own parents in their old age. His father has suffered several strokes over the last decade and is starting to deteriorate more rapidly and his mother is trying her best to care for him, but she also is facing the hardships of the elderly.… read more “Wicked Man”
Hoo- RAH!
We had another motivational company-wide meeting today. Each of our top managers took turns talking about why what we are doing is important and what we should do about it. They had intended to have a quick 20 minute meeting followed by pizza, but they ended up stretching it out for 45 minutes. One unnamed manager, when trying to respond to the question, “What is our company mission?”,… read more “Hoo- RAH!”

Out of the dungeon
My boss just leased new office space and moved me and the team I work with into it. The space is on the second floor of our current building and it is an upgrade over where I was. Whereas before I was in a big room with 8 people and no windows, I am now in a room with 3 people and a 10 ft.… read more “Out of the dungeon”

Google has introduced a free information service for people to call if they want listings of local businesses. It’s a voice-based local search service that can get helpful information. I tried it out and the voice recognition software is the best I’ve ever heard. It actually understood everything I said, which is completely amazing. I recommend using it over the expensive version offered by your cell phone provider.

Wal-Mart changed the way most of America purchased it’s products a couple of decades ago from having to go to lots of smaller stores to purchase pricey goods, to going to one giant supplier to get most goods at low prices.… read more “Business Revolution”
Not feeling well

Flag football
I am about to go play flag football in a couple of hours. Our team has not done so well, we are 1-3 right now against some pretty good teams. The biggest problem we have is that our defense can’t stop anyone, though we also can’t move the ball too well on offense. I got my first chance at quarterback last week and scored two touchdowns on three drives, which is pretty good.… read more “Flag football”
Message from Josh… Never been as proud of one of my bros
Just wanted to thank you for some things,
Lately I have seen the many contradictions the Christian religion has, and it’s many contradictions it makes with itself. I think somewhere inside I’m still trying to cling onto the faith, but every day I begin to see the truth more and more. The only reason I ever really was a Christian was because it made myself feel good to think that there was something out there that could perform a miracle to make my life better, but now I realize all I needed to do was do it myself.… read more “Message from Josh… Never been as proud of one of my bros”
