Happy-ish day!
Why the “ish”, you ask?
Because a month-and-a-half after Hurricane Helene ripped apart Appalachia, I’m still feeling a bit numb and a little lost in navigating my way through what this all means. This hasn’t been, by far, the typical fall season that we all look forward to in these beau...
The DSP social media daily themes are now in full operation!
If you've been following any of the DSP social media sites (the main three, anyway), you're probably aware of the "daily themes" that I've been introducing each week since the start of 2024. Last week, I introduced the seventh and final t...

You may be asking, "Why is David suddenly putting such a big emphasis on "storytelling" on the new DSP website?"
