CULTURE CHANGE FOR AGING BOOMERS

December 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Culture change happens when things aren’t going exactly the way you want them to go. You hear more about it in sports with losing teams. Troy: They need a culture change in Chicago. Joe: You can say that again. Troy: They need . . . Joe: We’ll be back after a break.

TWO STORIES AND ONLY TWO?

December 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Two stories in 5000 years are not a lot of stories. Is that for slow readers too? Or do speed readers change the numbers? I have the feeling Mr. Eco is repeating the writer’s mantra: Buy More Books. Sounds good to me, but why not check in with other writers.

DOG TIME IN DOG YEARS

December 16, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Dog time started right on schedule. Sixteen years with precious Daisy the Wonder Dog, followed by four years of mourning, then this. Three years ago we signed up for another round of Dog World. I think she might be a keeper.

COMMUNICATION FACE, HOW TO READ IT

December 14, 2024 by David Gillaspie

A communication face is the non-verbal part of communicating with someone. We all have one. Not all are a resting bitch face, but sometimes they look that way. Accidentally. How can you appear attentive and interested when all you really want to do is take a nap? How long can you sustain your bright-eyed and […]

OLD STORY? THEY’RE ALL OLD STORIES THE OLDER YOU GET

December 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

An old story wears thin over time? Not when it’s your story, no matter how many times you tell it. When you hear, “I’ve heard this so many times,” don’t take it as criticism. That’s just someone bragging about their listening skills, not trashing your repetitiveness. Still, why not add something new?
