GOOGLE GAME NEEDS PRO HELP?

July 23, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Your google game tells who you are? A new rorschach test? The old test always looked like a broken spine and shattered hips, but okay. The new test results would be disappointing. Why?

BUILDING BRIDGES TO CROSS OVER AND OVER

July 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Some people say building bridges is the most important thing in the world. And they are correct. But for me, the most important thing is getting across them safely once they’re built. I’ve been crossing them all my life, for better or worse.

YOU WANT ME TO WANT TO?

July 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie

In Patrick DeWitt’s novel French Exit, the mom asks her thirty-two year old son to get something for her. “Please bring me my cup.” “I will if you want me to.” “I want you to want to.” And he obeys. So I ask . . .

THE DAY AFTER TODAY IS THE BEST DAY, OR IS IT TODAY

July 15, 2024 by David Gillaspie

I grew up thinking good times were the day after I first heard about ‘delayed satisfaction.’ People who wanted it all, and wanted it now, were not realistic. What do you want? All. When do you want it? Now. Why didn’t that work out for me? I had brothers and sisters.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN REMINDERS

July 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who needs a Personal Development Plan? A PDP? More like who doesn’t. From cradle to grave we’re either doing personal development, or planning personal development. It’s good to have a plan to work. But if your goal, your plan, is to become a world class jackass, keep working.

OBEDIENCE TRAINING FOR COMPLIANCE

July 3, 2024 by David Gillaspie

For most of us obedience training started early. Early Baby Boomers learned from the boss, their old man, who learned it from his old man, then the Army. But that lineup leaves out the goal of obedience: Learning how to treat people correctly, beginning with your momma. Why momma?

OLD FOLKS TALKING IT OUT ON TELEVISION

June 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Why would old folks not rest on their laurels? Either they’re not tired, or they have no laurels. Last night’s Presidential Debate showed more than just the candidates. It also showed the problem with the format.

BREAKING NEWS BREAKDOWN ON GOOGLE

June 24, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Search for ‘Breaking News’ and what do you get? Google News at the top of the scroll. Makes sense. Search google for breaking news and they promote themselves. I’d do the same thing. So would you. Let’s take a look around.

THE NON-BLOG BLOG REPORT

June 21, 2024 by David Gillaspie

One of my non-blog blog readers had something to say, which is nice. They liked the travel posts from England better than the current production. We ended with a promise to get together and share half-lies, speculation, and innuendo. I like the plan because I like good readers with a lively opinion.
