GOOD TIMING FOR A BETTER LIFE FROM COMICS TO SPORTS AND BEYOND

July 4, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Good timing is what you see in the rearview mirror. It’s history, memory, and and it’s a rush. We all have our own story, unaffected and pure at first. Then things start happening. These things, those things, and we learn our story. Most important, we learn how to tell our story with good timing.

July 1, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Who is victim man? You? Me? The guy down the street? It’s all of the above, but only one person gets the trophy: The man who cries and moans the loudest and most often.

STABLE MAN? WHAT HE IS, OR WHERE HE LIVES?

June 30, 2022 by David Gillaspie

A stable man is good to know, whether it’s in the neighborhood or the horse barn. If you see a man mucking out a stall, that’s a stable man. The same also name applies to the guy who keeps his yard up, his car clean, and decorates his porch with flowers instead of old refrigerators. […]

June 28, 2022 by David Gillaspie

TIME TRAVEL WITH BULLIES BEING BULLIES

June 25, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Time travel with me back fifty years. Here’s why: Fifty years ago I was a seventeen year old student following the stream from Miss Spooner’s kindergarten classes at Roosevelt to graduating on the football field where my sports heroes played. It was a good run.

THIRD ACT LIFE: THIS IS WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND

June 24, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Life’s third act is different than the end of a drama. In a play, everyone goes home. In life the end is death, which sounds overly dramatic. One question: Is it better to go quietly and leave the mess and problems unsolved? Problem solvers say, “Heck no.”

FINISHED WORK WITH SENATOR RON JOHNSON

May 7, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Finished work leaves a feeling of permanence. And isn’t that the idea, locked in for the long haul. What do you do after you finish something? What’s next? Maintenance. But first, about that finished work.

CARE LIMITS: WHEN IS IT TOO MUCH?

May 4, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Family caregivers have few care limits, for better or worse. The better part is that they stay on the job. The worst part: they quit. Not everyone gets it at first, but it sinks in eventually: Now what?

HOW BABY BOOMERS PUSHED WOMEN’S HEALTH

April 1, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Even in 2016 women’s health is a hot button topic? 1973, the year of de-criminalized marijuana and Roe v Wade. What could go wrong? The counter culture had been rolling for years with people moving to Haight Ashbury, joining communes, going to music festivals. More than one family saw their little girl hop into a […]

TRUMP MOMENT FINALLY ARRIVES

March 31, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Pro Choice Delivers The Trump Moment, And None Too Early. We spend our lives following instructions, giving instruction, and making a difference. At least that’s the idea. Stay in your lane. Signal for lane change. Repeat. Sounds too easy until it’s not, like the freeway merge artist who slides four lanes over like they’re looking […]
