GET BETTER, GET BITTER, OR . . .?

January 25, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Get better. That’s the plan? Yes, that is the plan. Otherwise, what are you going to do? I’m asking, what are the other options because I don’t see them. Do you? Let a blogger explain why if you’re having trouble with it.

December 29, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Everyone has a ‘Dream House.’ They know it when they see it. “That’s the house of my dreams.” Two blocks later it’s another house. I could drive around town all day looking at dream houses, but which one is the dreamiest?

CANCER CONVERSATIONS ONLINE AND OFF

August 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Cancer conversations never get old for people who’ve had it, and those living with it. They happen in waiting rooms for chemo, waiting rooms for radiation, and waiting rooms for scans and probes.
