There are a few things in life that seem to really get to me emotionally any time I hear of them. Divorce is one, especially involving people we know. It just breaks my heart, every time. Then any injustice involving kids… that’s another. (Don’t think that’s at all unique to me, think that’s built into…
Personal
Perhaps You Could Help?
Was talking with some friends of ours yesterday about the very recent death of their son-in-law. He was only 33 years old, and has a wife and two boys (12 and 13) who are now without their dad, who was also the one who brought in nearly all of the household income. I also found…
You Can’t Make This Stuff Up, Folks
It all started last Monday. Meaning, ten days ago or so. The previous day we had a mini-birthday party for our oldest daughter, Kirstie. Some friends came over, we played games, we sang birthday songs, we ate birthday cake, we opened birthday presents. It was wonderful. But that night, pretty sure it was the middle…
Microblogging
Have you heard the term “microblogging” bantered about these days? Perhaps you’ve heard of the most popular microblogging platform, Twitter? It certainly has some legs these days. There are all sorts of options out there, Twitter and Tumblr are two popular ones I have tried. (I really don’t use Twitter, and I have stopped using…
Not Relaxed
I never feel relaxed. Ever. I have been noticing this for a while now. It’s rather disturbing, actually. I can’t pinpoint the exact reason(s) for it, but mainly it stems from the fact that I never complete anything. I always feel like there are 7 other things I need to be doing at any point…
University at Buffalo – BOWL GAME!
I am actually an alumnus of three different universities. All undergrad. All within four years after completing high school. That’s kinda strange, but does give me a few teams to root for. One of those is playing in a bowl game today! At 1:00pm on ESPN2, you can see the UB Bulls take on UConn…
Year In Review: 2008
I know, this is a little late, but… on our trip down to visit family in Ohio, all seven of us compiled a list of the best things we could remember from 2008. (OK, maybe not too much from Emma…) This is what we came up with: (in no particular order, except for the first…
Electrical Problems
You may have heard that the Buffalo Bills game last Sunday was blacked out a few times thanks to some balloons getting caught in the electrical wires outside the stadium. The entire stadium lost power half an hour before the game, and then once more in the second quarter of the game. Everything was shut…
Tired
As you the readers of GregsHead may already know… I am busy. Busier, more stretched-thin, and just more tired than I can ever remember being. Maybe it’s just cause I’m getting old? Maybe I’m still trying to do too much. But last night, as I was reading the day’s emails, news, and various things around…
Three Little Known Facts
I was thinking today… I bet that you – no matter how much you may read this blog – may not know the following three things about me… I am an ordained minister. (It’s true! No lie!) I have a friend who refuses to call me anything but Mitch (and various derivatives) Both of my…
