It’s probably not even accurate, but tonight while I was playing a game of Monopoly with my nine-year-old son, Ian, I couldn’t help but notice how the game paralleled life – and how I did not like that. First off, it was just a really fun night. We call them OK Nights. (One Kid Nights.)…

Content
The past three weeks – maybe four – have been mostly a blur. I’ve been sleeping even less than normal, and been working much more than normal … and yet, there is a strange contentment like I have not recently known. For quite sometime, financial pressures have been slowly bearing down on us, threatening to…
One Trillion Seconds
I heard this on the Glenn Beck show today (from… yesterday I think?) and was just pretty amazed by it. Perhaps you will be too? “A million seconds equals 12 days.A billion seconds is 32 years.A trillion seconds is 32 thousand years. 54 trillion is what medicare and social security alone are in debt.” I…
[Things That Are Weird] Gambling Aversions
I know that I probably just can’t understand, since it really has no pull on me, but one more Thing That [Is] Weird to me is how much of an aversion some folks have to gambling on any level. Not just Christian, “God hates gamblers” folks. Regular folks who feel like any wagering is fruitless,…
Hey, You Never Know
This morning I awoke from a series of dreams that seemed mostly disconnected, except for the last two. The last two were definitely connected. Really, it was a dream where I awoke from a dream. That happened once before (even more crazy, though!) but in this dream, the two dreams were the same. In the…
They Earned It
Yesterday the boys were just a bit rambunctious to start the day. They were not being bad necessarily… just sort of annoying, and out of control. I happened to be on the phone with my parents at the time (which was part of the reason they were annoying) and was relaying the story to them….
How About This, Eh?
I saw this article come across my RSS feed today, and really couldn’t believe it. Gas is well over $3.00 (US) and now the Canadian dollar is nearly equal to ours?? What is this world coming to? 🙂 Pretty crazy. Click the link to read the article.
Anyone Still Here?
It’s been a quiet week at GregsHead.net, but as I’m sure you all know, that means it has not been at Greg’s House. The Campbell home has been busy with everyday things that a growing family of six has to do. Regular everyday things. But Dad has been super busy with lots of new work!…
A Bunch of Good News
It’s time for some good news on this blog. Enough of this pessimism! You’re bringin’ me down, GregsHead! 🙂 But anyway… it’s been an interesting week of goodness. It was highlighted last night with a wonderful evening with my wife. She arranged for a babysitter and we went out for a couple burgers, and later…
Relief
The past week saw a bit of relief for us on the income freeze. I think I have mentioned here that the summer was quite a financial drought. Not many (maybe there weren’t any?) of my current clients needed any substantial work done on their existing sites, and not much new business came in. We…
