GROWING HOPE ON FALLOW LAND

November 4, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Growing hope is my hope. Why? Because I like hopeful people. They do things I might try to do, go places I might like to go. In my work life I choose hope. Family life? I choose hope. Here’s now to grow hope in what feels like barren land.

KID COMPANY: VOTE LIKE THEY MATTER

October 18, 2022 by David Gillaspie

‘Kid company’ is different than babysitting. Instead of a few hours, it’s a few days. During those days you can see what a kid wants and needs more than you can in a few hours. What do they want? They want ‘you’ all day, so bring your best. What’s that look like?

MATURE PATIENCE: AGING OUT OF THE SNIT FIT

October 9, 2020 by David Gillaspie

Before we acquired mature patience, things were different. Everything was a new beginning, but not just new, bright and shiny new. And it was exciting. Truth to tell, bright and shiny new is still pretty damn exciting, but in a different way.

DEMOCRAT PARTY OFFICIAL WEBSITE PHONE CALL

February 16, 2018 by David Gillaspie

I got the call last night from the Democrat Party, and like a story that goes public after signing non-disclosure statements, I felt a sense of freedom. The phone call on my land line, yes I still have a land line, was a money call. One hundred dollars was the starting point. […]

May 2, 2017 by David Gillaspie

These states read a blog about nothing. Is yours on it? The biggest problem with people coming to America is they show up without a good grip on their new place.

GOT NO FRIENDS ON YOUR RIGHT? YOU’RE LEFT

October 25, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Summarizing A Recent Conversation With An Economic Based Republican. Do you have friends who never talk about their political feelings? If so, and you talk about your party, they’re probably on the other side of the fence. Is that a bad thing? Never, it keeps things interesting. In an ideal world election results would be […]

THE POLITE SIDE OF THE AISLE AT 180 DEGRESS

February 21, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Do You Forgive Stupid Remarks In The Sauna? Of Course You Do. It’s So Damn Hot. Most people I know are Republicans. Not the neo-con version. Not the Tea Party version.
