Oh, by the way, the reason for not posting a lot today from all of us.... - Granite Grok

Oh, by the way, the reason for not posting a lot today from all of us….

…is that we had a GrokMeeting today.  Every so often we Groksters get together and sling some political news and stories back and forth.  What surprised me is that I thought today’s meeting would be a couple of hours like they have in the past; instead, it turned out to be an entire afternoon of non-stop talk and idea pitching.  We also talk about some business of the ‘Grok stuff – do we all think we’re heading in the right direction, is there stuff we should be doing more of or doing better?  We opine, comment, do political activism, and with our recent Right To Know requests, starting the process of doing some investigatory (see, Tim, I CAN spell it right all by myself!) but are there things that we could be doing that we are not?  And yes, we came up with a number of items today that we’ve never done before, and yes, we are seriously going to look into implementing them.

And we had to ask ourselves, do some of us have to “step it up” a bit in some areas in order to reach that higher bar?  And would it change the “essential being” of what is GraniteGrok?  The answer is yes to the first, and no to the second (just be more ‘Grokish” in a bigger way, and that certainly includes me).  We are now going to try to formulate some long term plans that would bring more resources to bear in what we do (and for the new stuff)  in order to do it better.  If we can plan and execute on those plans well, hopefully we can do a better job for you folks, our readers.

So, I’ll ask – how we doing?
