Quick techie update here, since it’s on my mind… Are you a Twitter user? I am not. Well, not really. I never really had any need for it, though I would and do often recommend it to my web clients. It’s a great way to keep in touch with clients, send out short updates, links,…
The State of the Buffalo Bills
It’s ugly. No way to sugarcoat that. It’s just ugly. BUT, as with all things, there’s always hope. First, though, here’s what’s wrong. Loser Mentality There is still a feeling among Bills fans—and apparently among the players, too—that the Buffalo Bills are supposed to lose. In the past, that may have been so, with second-rate…
Cameron’s Hat (and Pockets)
I’m really not sure when it started. Somewhere in the recent past—perhaps a couple weeks, perhaps a month or more—Cam found, and immediately treasured three specific items. What were previously general possession toys became the sole, well-cared-for property of Cameron James Campbell. (Officer Campbell to you.) Upon donning the plastic cowboy hat, Cam assumed the…
The Defeat of the Vile Black Sludge Monster!
The battle was fierce, lasting a few days, culminating with a full day of intense action. The Monster would win one battle, and then another. (And then another…) But I was resilient. I persisted, pushing through adversity after adversity. At one point, after several humiliating defeats in the protracted fray, I began to feel my…
Misdiagnoses
It’s been an interesting few days here in the Campbell home. (I know… when isn’t it, right?) You see, it all began with a phone call from Grandma. (Well, sort of.) Last Wednesday, Julia and Dad (that’s me) went out for an OK Night. Just Julia and Dad out on the town. McDonald’s for french…
Things Are Looking Rosy for the Buffalo Bills in 2012! (Really… they are!)
Yes, fans, football season is upon us! Tonight the Bills will take the field for the first of four “warm up” games. This evening they play the Washington Redskins at home. (That means that we get to watch it one day later, since we will not be at the game!) If you are a fan…
How To Write Good
There is no shortage of sharing these days thanks to the wonderful world wide web. I receive many forwarded emails from my dads, and I see many friends posting via Facebook and other such media various content created by others. Below is one share that I decided must be shared again! I’m not sure these…
Birthdays
Birthdays are a pretty big deal here in the Campbell home. We really enjoy celebrating each other’s special days, usually for more than just that one day. But that one day is a circled day on the calendar and a number that carries more meaning than others. We love the months of February, March, July,…
Mortimer The Frog
Several years ago, I thought I’d try my hand at writing a few children’s tales. I had some ideas and just went for it. Some were your typical light and fluffy kid fare, others were more moral-of-the-story kind of tales, and also a bit lengthy. Then there was Mortimer The Frog. I just remembered these…
Approval
What if… you never received approval from anyone? Would you still be OK? Could you still be… you, without some form of approval; healthy, or unhealthy? I’m really not sure what answer—if any—would be the “right” answer to those questions. I’m not even sure I have any answer. The fact that we members of the…
