January 15, 2026 by David Gillaspie

UNDEREDUCATED, OVEREDUCATED, OR JUST RIGHT

NEW NUMBERS NEEDED HERE

August 8, 2025 by David Gillaspie

I need new numbers, not that I’m too good for 0-9. A new arrangement would be nice, but it is what it is. As much as I’d like to see better numbers, more improvement, I accept what I see. Upward trend? Okay. Downward trend? Okay. How about moving on instead of complaining about every tick […]

AWARD WINNING TAKES PRACTICE

May 23, 2025 by David Gillaspie

If you’ve never had an award winning experience, keep reading. After all of the training and expectations and worry you somehow win. What happens next? Disbelief. How did it happens? You know but still don’t believe it. Then it’s on to the next thing, the next big deal, but the feeling remains:

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.

BLOG TRAFFIC: THE LINE STARTS OVER THERE

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.
