Today I got to tell the story of how God arranged for me to marry Jen. Our friends Ryan & Charmagne (he’s not Ryan… he’s Chi.) were over for the day and somehow I mentioned that Jen & I never dated, and that piqued Charmagne’s interest, enough that she asked me to share our story….
Personal
Picky Eater
We were invited to join some friends tonight for a little campfire in their back yard, complete with S’mores! I know Steve from playing basketball together for a few years now, but we’ve not gotten to spend much time together with the rest of the families. Somehow the conversation migrated to my time in Venezuela….
A Long Time Ago… In a Galaxy Far, Far Away
Talk about fireworks… Wired News today posted this article about some 4th of July fireworks from what is now known as the Crab Nebula. But this was not a recent 4th of July… it was in the year 1054!!! Ha! Awesome. We’re hoping to catch some more modern fireworks tonight… if the rain lets up….
Optical Illusions
After first-hand viewing of a cool optical illusion of the summer moon, I got this in my e-mail today from my Dad. (He likes to forward stuff… this one’s pretty cool…) 🙂 The instructions in the e-mail were as follows: If your eyes follow the movement of the rotating pink dot, the dots will remain…
Life In The Rearview Mirror (…not the book)
Tonight I dug out my old journals. I was looking for any account of the story of Ian’s birth. Actually, the journals only go back to late 1999, and nothing was written even remotely close to Ian’s birthday (it was Christmas, after all!) so I had no luck there… But I did find a bit…
The Heat…
I must say that even though my air conditioner has been blasting all day… my attic office is really beginning to heat up. It’s up to about 83 degrees now, and probably still climbing. That’s actually really good because the non-insulated portion of the attic seems to be at about 130!!! 🙂 What I’m a…
Two Ears, Two Eyes… One Mouth
I realized today that one of the main reasons I don’t post all the articles/thoughts that I want to here at GregsHead.net is because I spend close to twice as much time reading other blogs as I do posting to my own! And not just blogs, as you can see from some of my posts,…
Weird Thing About Getting Older…
I have noticed recently that instead of feeling “old” as I have on many occasions now past the age of 30, I have begun to really feel quite young. Not sure if I’ve just mentally passed from youth to adulthood finally, where a 32-year-old adult is still a pretty young pup, or, maybe I’m just…
Race To The Moon
Last night I watched an hour-long PBS special (via Netflix) called “Race To The Moon”. It’s certainly another recommended addition to your queue. The story is just incredible. How in the world did we pull that off in the sixties… and we’re not going back till 2013 or so??? The video is about Apollo 8,…
Killer Asteroid Coming – 2029!!
A friend forwarded me a link to an article he was reading this weekend. The article is from NASA, in 2004. It was determined that a rather sizeable asteroid has an orbit that intersects with Earth’s orbit, and there was a 1 in 60 chance (One article I found claimed a 1 in 40 chance!)…
