PERSUASIVE POWER OF WORDS NOT SPOKEN

August 13, 2023 by David Gillaspie

My persuasive power, if any, comes with words attached. It comes with observation that hopefully morphs into helpful insights. Or, when I swing and miss it’s just another load of ‘look at me’ like my blogging brethren. Let’s take a look together, shall we?

RESPONSIBLE BLOGGER IN REAL TIME

August 12, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A responsible blogger is hard to find? Not at all, just search for an echo chamber that repeats what you think. Find that blogger and you start wondering why everything else isn’t as easy. But that’s not what’s going on here. I’m not doing the work, you are.

PICTURE GREATER TODAY WITH CHARLIE SANDBO

August 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Picture Greater shows someone in tune with nature. In this case they grew up and got in touch with something that got in touch with nature.

CANCER CONVERSATIONS ONLINE AND OFF

August 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Cancer conversations never get old for people who’ve had it, and those living with it. They happen in waiting rooms for chemo, waiting rooms for radiation, and waiting rooms for scans and probes. Sound fun yet? This isn’t a suggestion: Make it fun or a little of you dies in that waiting room. Find something.

YELLED AT? HOW TO RECOVER

August 10, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Getting yelled at is not an experience for the timid. But how often do we have a choice of who yells what? Never. Especially when it goes off the tracks, off topic. Then it’s not about you, but them. Goes like this:

‘OPPENHEIMER’ OR ‘DAYS OF HEAVEN’

August 9, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Oppenheimer opened in theaters big and small, 70mm and Imax. After the rush calmed down, I saw it at the local Regal Theater in Bridgeport. The multiplex included Barbie with a Photo Booth set up in the lobby. What? No Oppenheimer photo booth?

EARTH BURDEN GROWS WITH POPULATION

August 8, 2023 by David Gillaspie

If the earth burden grows with population, will it shrink with a population decrease? Not when we hear about ‘forever chemicals.’ How does anyone rebound from a ‘forever’ problem? By the way, ‘forever’ is spelled PFAS.

ONE PLANET AND EARTH IS IT

August 7, 2023 by David Gillaspie

One planet is not enough? It is if you’re forced to walk to your next destination. And where might that be? When you’re on foot and a long way out, where you’re headed isn’t as important as keeping your momentum. You knew where you were going when you started.

August 5, 2023 by David Gillaspie
