August 31, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Life begins the moment you realize you’re having fun with the people around you. If the people are scientists of varying disciplines, life origin is based on solid theories. It’s a whole ‘nother story with anyone else. What if it’s some random blogger?

THE NEW THING vs OLD THING

August 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie

My new thing is blogging like I’ve never blogged before and calling myself a writer. “So what do you do?” “I’m a blogger.” “No, I mean what do you really do?”
