My pile of books continues to grow. I truly am reading each one of the books I have grabbed from the library, or purchased from Amazon, or had loaned to me by a friend, but… For some reason, the phrase “your eyes are much larger than your stomach” comes to mind… In this case, my…

There Are More Important Things…
I had to double and triple check to make sure this video was real… it is. How can we really think this way? The language this woman uses to describe her “problem” (which was … until two months prior to the speech you see in this video—from the “Digital Inclusion Summit” on March 9, 2010—her…
Why Does Everyone Hate Glenn Beck?
I am a Glenn Beck fan. If you weren’t immediately turned off by the title, I’d imagine that at least a handful of readers are now completely done with this post, and—quite likely—done with GregsHead.net entirely. That seems to be the current climate in our country, especially in the political world, and especially surrounding the…
Mastering Money or Money Is Master?
A couple conversations of late have reminded me of a book I read a while back (at the recommendation of a friend who had really loved it) regarding the management of money. It was (and is) particularly relevant as we are facing mountainous debt (accumulated over many years, and some the result of “questionable” business…
The Unexpected
Sometimes in life we go along thinking that we really know what’s going to happen. We know how the day is going to go, how the week is going to go. We have it mapped out, and it works quite nicely, thank you very much. At times, life plays along, and for the most part,…
Basketball Solitaire?
Everyone is talking basketball these days. It’s March Madness time. Most brackets have been thrown in the trash. Four teams fans are still happy for now. (Including me! Go State!) Well, I guess I’m getting in on the action. After a couple years “off”, I found another friend (with at least a slightly flexible schedule)…
Many Means to an End
This is crazy! Saw this at NHL.com today… #3 Buffalo Sabres would clinch a playoff berth… * if they defeat the Tampa Bay Lightning OR * if they get one point against the Tampa Bay Lightning AND the Atlanta Thrashers lose (in regulation or overtime/shootout) to the Carolina Hurricanes AND the New York Rangers lose…
The (True) Fundamental Transformation of America
I am saddened and frustrated today. Not necessarily by what you might think. We just sent in our census form today, which had me thinking about the role we have given our government (or perhaps, that it has taken) in our lives. Coupled with the passing of the big government health care legislation on Sunday…
Clean Your Bombilla
So … I had a “first” experience today, as a mate drinker… I was drinking “unos mates” for the first time in a week (we were gone, visiting family in Ohio last week) and as I was drinking, I noticed that no liquid was coming through the bombilla, so upon a quick visual inspection, I…
The 2010 Census, The Constitution, and Government
How’s that for a title? 🙂 For some reason, any time I write on things that are purely political, I feel obligated to remind the reader that I generally avoid political discussions, and especially so on this website. However, this particular current events topic relates to something I’ve been thinking about for a long time…
