THE RIGHT ONE. WHERE DO THEY HIDE?

April 1, 2024 by David Gillaspie 2 Comments

Men and women share at least one thing in common: They all want to find The Right One. Who to be with, where to live, what kind of job? The easy answers are, the right one, the right place, and right work. The hard part is deciding the order. Start with The Right One.

BLOG TRAFFIC: THE LINE STARTS OVER THERE

March 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Blog traffic is easy, so expect instant results. Start a blog, write a post, and stand back. The clouds part, the rain stops. You stand in the warming sunshine, not the blazing warm that melts asphalt in parking lot, but the cuddly warm of wearing strap t-shirts and cargo shorts. Let’s warm it up.

REAL STRUGGLES? AREN’T THEY ALL

November 28, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Real struggles begin with similar first words. From, “It’s a boy,” to, “It’s a girl.” Momma says good, daddy says good. What’s missing?

AMERICAN LETTERS FROM THERE

October 13, 2023 by David Gillaspie

My American letters began sixty-eight years ago. But that wasn’t nearly old enough. So I pulled a college history degree, American History with an emphasis in NW History including seminars on the Origins of WWI, and post-WWII Germany.

TWITTER STARS MESSAGE ALIGNMENT

June 27, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Twitter stars are those who make you stop on a speed scroll. You need to know more, see more, do more at that moment. They are on a bus, a subway, a plane, a train. A true twitter star makes you want to be there with them.

June 20, 2023 by David Gillaspie

‘The Pause’ in this post is the moment a medical team takes after a patient dies. Whoever is in the bed deserves a moment of quiet for the life they led. I’m a fan of people understanding the idea of respect and how it’s shown. But why wait until the last moment?

PEOPLE UNITED BY GIVING WRITERS

June 8, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Needy people? You see them all over the place? So do I. I’m one of them. Oh, and so are you. We need things we don’t have. Writers give some of those things, or at least the feeling of giving. So what?

‘THE PLOT’ THICKENS: A BOOK REVIEW

May 26, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The Plot is the first book I’ve read that includes Facebook and twitter as important characters. No that’s not a spoiler. Neither is this: they’re cast in a dark light. Did I enjoy reading The Plot? A reviewer on Amazon said the first third drags along but that’s the part I most enjoyed.
