March 22, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The rule book for dating in the early 1970’s came from rock lyrics. But not just any rock lyrics. This isn’t about the free love sixties, even if it had a nice ring to it. It’s about getting on down the road.

NEW TRADITIONS FROM OLD: 100 DAYS AND COUNTING

March 21, 2024 by David Gillaspie

New traditions aren’t always new, just new to some. The 100 Day tradition of throwing a party was new to me, but not new. When a new mom’s parents are born in China, there will be a 100 Day celebration. Now I wonder why everyone doesn’t have the same? It points to the differences in […]

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 THINGS THAT GET MORE REAL, LIKE FEELINGS

March 6, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Real things are not a mystery. Maybe mysterious, but not a mystery. For that we can thank science. And thank some blogger for posting images too small to read. More mystery? Not with the right solution.

March 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who doesn’t like a question directed to ‘older people?’ This was the question from twitter: I wonder what it’s like for the older people now, who were born in the previous millennium. How can people born in 1999 be old? Easy.
