Hey. It’s been a good while since I’ve gotten to sit down here and write out a thought or two as they pass through my head. (This site is called “Greg’s Head” after all, so it should live up to its name every now and again…) I don’t really feel that I have the time…

Kirsten’s Daily Schedule
This was just too cute not to share. Today I found this piece of paper on our kitchen table. It would seem that Kirsten is as fond of lists as Mom (or at least, becoming so). Jen is absolutely a lover of lists, and perhaps this little paper is evidence of that budding love in…
Restoring Honor Rally in DC: Not About Politics
You’ll hear a lot of different stories regarding today’s “political” rally in Washington, DC. You’ll hear things like “Thousands gather for rally” (Washington Post) or, “Glenn Beck Rally Has People Seeing Red” (NPR) or, “Glenn Beck Rally “Blatantly Political,” Says Top Democrat” (CBS News). There are some media reporting tens of thousands, but many are…
Restoring Honor Rally in DC – Live Stream
The Restoring Honor rally will be streamed live via UStream, and you can watch it here! There’s no better way to know something than to see it for yourself!
Big Weekend with Glenn Beck in DC
In case you have not heard by now, Glenn Beck has planned an event of monstrous proportions to be held this weekend on “the mall” in Washington, DC. The main event is Saturday, and is called “Restoring Honor“. The secondary event is tonight at The Kennedy Center for the Arts (I think that’s what it’s…
Seven Years of Published Words
Sometimes I like dates. Dates are fun. Remembering the date of birth of people you love. Celebrating the date of special events along your path of life thus far, whatever they may be. I even like to celebrate weird holidays like, Flag Day (Jun 14), Canada Day (Jul 1), Boxing Day (Dec 26), and Three…
Ronald Reagan: “Those Voices Don’t Speak For The Rest Of Us”
Saw this video shared by a few friends on Facebook today and decided to watch. I just can’t believe how much I agree with Ronald Reagan. There must be some things I do not agree with, but in almost everything I read, hear, or see he just presents perfectly the distinction between individual freedom and…
The Buffalo Bills are Bad! (But How Do We Know?)
The news from One Bills Drive yesterday was that starting Pro Bowl safety, Jairus Byrd is out “indefinitely” with a nagging groin injury. That is not good news for the Bills, but it is definitely consistent with the pattern of recent history. If you only follow the Buffalo Bills from a distance, it’s easy to…
Modern Parallels In 50-Year-Old Novel
I am currently reading a book from the 1950s called “Atlas Shrugged”. It’s a novel about government and business, and the various interactions between regulations and “the public good” versus free market (and individual freedom), capitalism and profits and such. It’s quite intriguing on many levels (also very long!) I had heard Ayn Rand’s name…
Slow Down
I just finished reading the book you see here, The Council of Dads, and would definitely recommend it. Overall it was a moving, and compelling story written by an author who found out he had very aggressive bone cancer—and mostly all he could think of was his twin 3-year-old girls, and that they might be…
