What a blessing to know families are forever!

Grants Article

I know Joe left this link in a comment, but I wanted to get it out here so everyone could see it. This is a must read for anyone managing an organization or even a small team. Great job Grant!

Also, as a side note, professor Bingham is a neighbor of mine and I have had the opportunity to get to know him, a very quality individual!

See you Friday! Don't forget, Joe!

For the love of barbecue

Friends, let us gather anew on the morrow to celebrate our profound and lasting freedom from school. Let us celebrate the small and large victories of our emancipation (you all know Paul got a hefty raise, right?).

Tomorrow’s EMBA lunch is set for Goodwood in Orem. Goodwood is known for barbecue, but the establishment has a long history of standing up for our nation.

In this, they share a place with others in the history of our great nation, names that stand above others. Indeed, a veritable roll call of magnificence that we may never see matched in all the remaining years of human existence—Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, Henry, Washington—shared something in common. In addition to all living a long time ago they all, to a man, loved good barbecue. The proof?

George Washington could never tell a lie, and he could never dig into a heaping serving of brisket without his famed ivory teeth.

Thomas Jefferson, the Sage of Monticello, perhaps the brightest star in the entire American firmament, coined the famous phrase, “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of spare ribs.” Less well known is this stirring declaration: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred barbecue sauce.”

Ben Franklin, that rascally writer, scientist, statesman, claimed, “Barbecue is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” And, while he did say, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” his earlier version stated, “A smoked pig tastes great any day of the year.”

John Adams, who will soon star as himself in an HBO miniseries, states, “Children should be educated and instructed in the principles of marinating, basting, smoking, and barbecuing.”

• Last but not least, the fiery Virginian Patrick Henry, spoke for us all when he exclaimed, “Give me baby backs or give me death!”

If you have never been to Goodwood, I can nearly guarantee you will love it. And if you like BBQ…why in the world have you never been to Goodwood? Here’s a link to the menu.

I’m not sure why, but the menu doesn’t show prices. You can expect generous lunch specials for about $10 or less…

See you there at noon.

We need more contributors, so...

Poor Mike and Jason, they don't get much help on here. So, I'll take a minute to add to the blog and say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you my favoritest classmates of all time. God bless you all, and may Santa bless you as well in a much more temporal way!
