A couple dozen men and women in formal wear, blasting loud, bass-thumping music, while smoking cigarettes and loudly cavorting and merrymaking—that was our visit to Squire’s Castle. Friends of ours had been through the Cleveland, OH area not too long before, and when they knew we would be traveling through there, too, recommended including this…

The Case of the Missing iPhone
The phone rang Sunday afternoon. As soon as it did, I remembered that I had left the handset somewhere other than where it was supposed to be. After a brief search, I located it and saw the call was from my parents home, so I clicked the TALK button. “Hello!” I said with sing-songy happiness….
Life Is In The Moments
It’s not uncommon to see some very cute things happening here in the Campbell household. There are, after all, several cute people, who often think of cute things to do. And so, there are many chances for cuteness! Last night during dinner clean up, I happened to spot one. Most times I might have corrected…
The Adventures of Zamboni® and Policeman
We love to read around here. There are books everywhere, and lots of hands, minds, and eyes to devour them. Mom and Dad both love books, love to read… more than we have time in our days to actually accomplish. Ian, the oldest child, is a ravenous book reader. (And now, he’s becoming a writer…
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…
“Who Does Dad Love?”
Putting Cam in bed is usually a job for Dad. It’s great fun, actually. Cam and I definitely “bond” at these regular meetings. We’ve come up with plenty of fun regular rituals: which blanket goes where, which book is read first, and so many more entertaining—and important!—routines that perhaps I’ll elaborate in a future post….
Strange Things People Search For
It’s always fascinating to me to see the various ways people find this website. First, of course, are direct visits: people using bookmarks or typing in “gregshead.net” into their browser’s address bar. Then, I know that the main referrer of visitors to GregsHead.net is Facebook.com. Some of that is from links shared by others, some…
[From The Archive] Super Sucker Fish
It’s time for another trip to the Archive! This time, it’s the quite recent past—June of 2010. One very hot night during that summer, after returning to our home after a few very hot days away visiting friends, we discovered a sight—and smell—that will stick with us for quite some time! Super Sucker Fish! is…
