Volatile, Historic Times and the Spider Who Doesn’t Care

Posted on June 29th, 2015 :: 3:52 pmSeptember 8th, 2017 :: 7:54 am by Greg

Righteous indignation on each side; blustery public diatribes backed by legal or biblical authority; verbal wars among foes and friends and family which take no idealogical prisoners—this seems to be the state of current events. But this tiny spider doesn’t seem to know, or care. She’s not angry, or justified, or changing the color of…

[RePost] D-Day: When Things Mattered

Posted on June 6th, 2014 :: 12:36 pm by Greg

Today is the 70th anniversary of D-Day. June 6th, 1944. The Allied invasion at Normandy, France, was a key point in World War II, and certainly worth commemorating. Below is an article I wrote a couple years ago, following our family’s own commemorating of the events of that day. It seemed a good way to…

A Grain of Salt (What Does That Mean?!)

Posted on May 2nd, 2014 :: 7:00 amMay 1st, 2014 :: 12:39 pm by Greg

“Take that with a grain of salt,” says your friend regarding somewhat dubious news. “I’d take that draft rumor with a grain of salt,” says the NFL Draft Expert, who says a lot of things. (Most of which apparently need salt…) But what does it mean? Why do we say that? Where does it come…

Who’s Your Favorite President?

Posted on February 16th, 2014 :: 10:05 pmFebruary 17th, 2014 :: 9:55 am by Greg

With today being Presidents’ Day, there has been some presidential talk in the Campbell home recently. Last night at dinner, in fact, one question asked of the children was, “Who is your favorite president?” The responses, which I clarified again this morning, were as follows: Cam, age 4 George Washington! (Said with staggering confidence!) Emma,…

[ThisDay] Both Sides of the Story

Posted on January 20th, 2014 :: 6:30 amJanuary 19th, 2014 :: 10:26 pm by Greg

I had an intriguing idea today. “I wonder what I was thinking and writing on this day through the ten plus years I’ve been publishing stuff here? I wonder if it’s the same stuff I’m thinking in January of 2014?” Seemed like an interesting enough activity to share it here with you. (Hello, you!) For…

Today—right now, in fact, at 5:13pm ET—I am celebrating ten years of writing for this blog. On August 26th, 2003, I published this post (about blogging, and my love for board games) and thus began the journey. I had intended to celebrate in a couple ways that never came to fruition. First, I was going…

The Year of Jubilee

Posted on July 18th, 2013 :: 3:59 pmJuly 18th, 2013 :: 2:47 pm by Greg

I had a run-in with the law this week. Well, it was not specifically I who did, and, it was more of a “walk-in” as opposed to a “run-in”. But that statement was generally true. If you are a regular reader of this website, you are aware that our oldest son is running a lemonade…

Roots

Posted on July 15th, 2013 :: 7:45 amJuly 15th, 2013 :: 11:19 am by Greg

Deep under the flourishing leaves, and the towers branches, and the succulent fruits which garner all the deserved and proper attention, are the roots. Hidden roots spread far and wide, providing the foundation of what you see above the ground. The visible draws from its roots the beginnings of its life, mixed with the elements…

A Visit to Squire’s Castle

Posted on July 9th, 2013 :: 11:14 am by Greg

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…

Independence Day

Posted on July 4th, 2013 :: 8:59 amJuly 4th, 2013 :: 8:19 am by Greg

It’s hard to appreciate independence as an American in the 21st century. We are still benefitting today—July 4th, 2013—from the courage and bravery of a people whose chosen leaders pledged their “lives, [their] fortunes, and [their] sacred honor” two hundred and thirty-seven years ago. Well over two centuries of time has passed since that particular…
