NEW NAKED GYM GUY BOUNDARIES UPDATE, 2026

February 13, 2026 by David Gillaspie

You have boundaries; naked gym guy needs boundaries. Who sets the boundaries? Two normal people join a gym: one of them works out and goes home, the other works out and showers at the gym. Then it breaks down further. Two people shower at the gym: sweaty guys and those who like to shower […]

BAD PERSONALITY, OR JUST A BAD DAY

February 12, 2026 by David Gillaspie

The last time you had an exchange with someone that didn’t go well and left you wondering, ‘do they have a bad personality, or was it a bad moment in a bad day?’ It’s a fair question, but only if you never see them again. If you see them regularly, you know. So do they. […]

BE INSPIRED BY SEEKING INSPIRATION

February 11, 2026 by David Gillaspie

To be inspired you have to seek it? What about seeing something accidentally, or unexpected, that hits just right? For some it’s a sunset, a beautiful sunset, the most incredible sunset since the night before. Call it inspirational, and you like it because it makes you feel inspired. Then what? Drinks? Take me for example:

PLAY ACTING STOPPAGE

February 10, 2026 by David Gillaspie

Acting? Play acting? Playing? What’s the difference when an actor is playing a part? I’ve seen the difference from my third row center season tickets at The Armory. For years my wife and mother in-law were theater buddies, two outgoing ladies of a certain age parking underground, riding up in elevators, and walking the cement sidewalks […]

NEVER COMPLAIN, NEVER EXPLAIN, UNTIL NOW

February 9, 2026 by David Gillaspie

I’m not a complainer, I never complain, and it’s a problem. If you don’t complain, then people think you’re perfect and living a perfect life. I don’t know a perfect anyone, let alone them living a perfect life. It’s sure not my life, probably not yours either? But you don’t complain? Thank you. Now it’s […]

RISK AVOIDANCE FOR WASHINGTON POST IN BEZOS’ WORLD? WRITER PLEASE

February 8, 2026 by David Gillaspie

The only risk avoidance for the Washington Post firings, layoffs, retirements? Avoid holding their place at the top of the print media pyramid. No matter the metric, The Washington Post was among the top five, if not top three with The NY Times and Wall Street Journal. Maybe it will stay up there, but not […]

NOT A SPORTS FAN? NOW YOU ARE

February 7, 2026 by David Gillaspie

The last time I explained about being a sports fan? Last night. In what has become a highlight, we spent the evening with another couple. Watching Friday Night Wrestling on the Big10 Network. My pal had never seen a wrestling match. He was a fast learner.

FIGURE THINGS OUT BY WRITING THEM DOWN? OKAY BOOMER

February 6, 2026 by David Gillaspie

Is it true you can figure things out by writing them down, or is there more to it? Who said, “I don’t know what I think until I write it down?” Who? Don’t panic, it was Joan Didion. I know questions make some people nervous. (Me) From National Public Radio:
