Man Down!
Monday, February 6th, 2012
It has attracted many men.
Initially, with the promise of land, freedom and gold.
The promise now is similar, but we call it fortune and fame.
Still many have headed west in search of something more. Some find it, and some find that they already had it all along.
Well, this year the temptress that is California claims one of our very own. One Mr. Justin Stanfield. That’s right, the kid with the so-so face and the hot wife is headed to tinsel town.
Over the years Justin has not just proven his value to River Glass Designs, the company, but even more so to River Glass Designs, the family. We all love him and will miss him more than he knows. We anxiously await his return…In fact I’ve been dreaming about it… I can see it as clear as day…
…We’re racing thru opposite ends of the forest, until we both come to a clearing. Our eyes meet from across the meadow and we begin racing toward each other. The distance is small but, it seemingly takes a lifetime to close the gap between us. Our hands finally touch and we dance in circles, knowing true happiness in that instance. Then I immediately begin to have a massive asthma attack, since I have no business running and dancing in a field filled with flowers. And as the pollen begins to fill my lungs, I take my last breath…
But wait! A small glowing finger touches me and once again I began to breath. Completely reinvigorated, I high five the little brown alien who has just saved my life. Then he tells me to phone home…and I say to him: “I will phone home my friend…I will phone home…
Justin and Whitney We All Love You And Wish You The Best – Don’t Forget About Us.

Let’s Celebrate….Good Times…COME ON!
Tuesday, September 27th, 2011
Today was to be a very special blog that led off with a Redskins victory and was followed by a very special look at two River Glass Designs couples.
The Redskins obviously had other ideas. To be honest though, I commend them for falling to 2-1, 3-0 sounds so pretentious! But there were two things that offered a silver lining last night. 1) After weeks of deciding what type of Quarterback to be, Rex Grossman has, simply, decided to be himself. And isn’t that what we want from everyone, for them to just be themselves…2) and this is the important one, both teams were able to bring national attention to the FGA – Field Goal Awareness. In fact I hear the organization is working on taglines right now. Some front runners are Field Goals: They’re points Too! And my personal favorite: Field Goals, Not Just Because You Have To, But Because You Want To!
But enough about that let’s get to the really good stuff. We want to give a, very special, congratulations to two couples who celebrated their anniversaries.
Frist, Gary (our owner) and Diane (his boss) celebrated their 35th wedding anniversary on Sunday. 35 YEARS! Their marriage is older than most of our employees! Now if you’re wondering what these two are like – Diane is a sweet, soft spoken kind hearted women and Gary is a fun loving, fair and honest man. And if you’re thinking the only reason I’m saying those nice things, is because they sign my checks, then you would be wrong! But it is the main reason…
The other special couple is Megan (my girlfriend) and Jamie (it’s a soft J) who celebrated their anniversary on Monday. Megan is Gary and Diane’s daughter. Now I know what you’re thinking how could Megan marry Hi’may when she clearly loves me. Well we both decided it would be for the best that she marries Jamella, since she and I work together and will still see each other every day. But in all seriousness, they have been married for the last 7 years and two beautiful children. And soon Megan will return to work, here I the office, once again completing our work family.
So Happy Anniversary Megan and Jaymee…keep on um…keep on truckin!
And Happy Anniversary Gary and Diane…keep the paychecks comin!

Did You Feel That?!
Wednesday, August 24th, 2011
Yesterday, August 23, 2011, the earth shook beneath the feet of all of us here in the DC Metro Area. I’m sure, like me, most of you immediately thought that the Hulk had finally lost it and decided it was time to smash stuff. How wrong we were. Turns out it was an earthquake. We hope everyone is alright.
We would also like to point out that we have all moved up in the story telling food chain. Yeah that’s right, just think about how this benefits us. Think about all those times one of your relatives or annoying friends tried to one up you in a conversation or make their life seem harder or more exciting than yours.
Let’s see them try it now!
“Oh, you won’t believe the day I had, my boss was being such a jerk!”
Oh really, that’s too bad of course it’s not nearly as bad as being in an EARTHQUAKE!
“Guess what? The family and I are headed to the beach this weekend.”
Oh really, well guess what I did yesterday…EARTHQUAKE!
“Just got a raise!”
Just had an EARTHQUAKE!
“I think I have pink eye.”
EARTHQUAKE! And you might want to try washing your hands once in a while…cuz that’s how you get pink eye…poo poo fingers.
“Hey I was just in a Volcanic eruption!”
Hey I was just in an earth…quake…
I think volcano might take that one.
Well in all seriousness all of us who make up the River Glass Designs family hope you and your families are okay.
…now how can I use this to sell Frameless Showers…

Don’t Go In The Water….Again!
Monday, August 1st, 2011
Yesterday marked the end of July, the end of the hottest month ever for those reading this. But yesterday wasn’t about endings, no, it was about beginnings. Yes my good friends, last night at 9:00pm eastern time we began one of the greatest weeks known to modern man. Shark Week! Hopefully you didn’t miss out. Now we mentioned this last year, and there was some confusion as to how this relates to River Glass Designs or frameless showers or mirrors or to glass in general. This year I came prepared for your cynicism.
Ahem, well as you all know there are many species of sharks. There are mako sharks, nurse sharks, whale sharks, tiger sharks, bull sharks, blue sharks and the list goes on and on and on…that might be one too many on’s…
But despite the large variety in sharks, only one continues to capture our imaginations and successfully captivates us time after time…The Great White! It is without a doubt the definitive representation of what a shark should be.
Now there are all types of glass companies, but only one can be the Great White! You know what I’m sayin? You know what I’m sayin…
…I was uh…I was uh, implying it was um…us…that River Glass Designs was the uh…the Great… Whi..t…e.
Moving along…another thing you may find interesting is that Great Whites eat seals and here at River Glass Designs, we put seals on our frameless showers…oh yeah! Do I really need to continue? Ok fine I will.
Umm…Umm…Ok, Ok, I got it! Great white sharks are commonly found of the coasts of South Africa, California, Australia and the Eastern coast of the United States…
…My grandfather was born IN South Africa, Gary’s family lives IN California, I’ve seen Crocodile Dundee about a thousand times and the real kicker, River Glass Designs is found on the Eastern Coastish Area…sort of…
Still not convinced?!
Alright I see how it is, I didn’t want to have to do this but, now I’ve gotta pull out the big guns…
A Great White Shark is gray, and white and swims in the blue ocean…take a look at our logo and color scheme…gray and white and, come on say it with me….blue. BAM! Take THAT haters! I thought I told you that we won’t stop; I thought I told you that we won’t stop!
Happy Shark Week Everyone! SHARK WEEK!

What a Week!
Monday, May 23rd, 2011
Last week was quite eventful here at River Glass Designs. Megan from accounts gave birth to her second child. A beautiful baby girl named Addison. She is just as pretty as her mom…she will probably be just as bossy too. Good Luck Jamie. ( that’s Megan’s husband…Yes, Jamie IS a boys name!). In conjunction with that Gary and Diane inherited Megan’s first born for the week while she recuperated. They quickly realized they are far too old, physically and emotionally to have a 4 year old running around. Which I’m pretty sure they knew heading into this…
Justin and Whitney celebrated their 6th anniversary. Whitney celebrated 6 years of marriage and Justin celebrated 6 years of having a wife who’s a million times hotter than him. ( I love you Justin!…I mean that in the manliest way possible…or do I…)
Jonathan’s sister got married, he celebrated by diving into pond while fully clothed, I think he was the best man…(I also love you Jonathan, but in a less manly way…)
My wife left me…for 3 weeks…to go to Europe…Which means…Free at last, free at last, great God Almighty I’m Free At Last…free to sponge of my parents til my wife gets back home…I need to be taken care of
And John…Beautiful Ebony John…went golfing
And that about sums up our week. Now let’s go sell some Frameless Showers!
