GROWING UP AND STAYING SHARP

November 19, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Growing up is a decision. It’s a decision to be on time, show up ready to go, and inspire others by your example. Like writing a blog, lol. The biggest decision to make? Decide to stay sharp, in spite of having sons.

SUNDAY WRESTLING DRIVE TO OREGON STATE

November 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

I took a Sunday wrestling drive to Corvallis for a match. But it’s always more than a wrestling match at Oregon State. It always turns into a question of decisions made and paths taken. While it’s always a fun time, this time stood out.

OREGON LOCATION FINALLY REVEALED

November 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Oregon location is where it’s always been, somewhere between Seattle and San Francisco. That’s what I got from talking to foreigners in their own country. No idea of Oregon, Washington, or Portland. But Seattle? Yes. California? Yes. Why does Oregon get the same confused reaction from sports analysts?

I’ve heard owls hoot and they sounded like friendly owls. But I’ve never seen one in the wild. Until yesterday.

OREGON DREAM SEASON CONTINUES @ #1

November 14, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Oregon dream season at #1 in the nation continues. In what was called an introductory season in the Big 10, with low expectations playing against the traditional powerhouses of college football, has turned into a dream season. The other teams in the conference know the drill. Oregon would have to work their way in […]

NORTHWEST PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 12, 2024

November 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

My Northwest Portland stroll started on Burnside and 23rd. This is the view looking across Burnside: The Envoy. I met a guy who lived there. He said it was great. That’s good enough for me.

REGULAR PEOPLE DO MORE

November 12, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Regular people do what needs to get done. From doing the easy stuff, to the hard stuff, they take their shot. You’ll recognize them when you see someone and wonder why they’re out doing what they. For example:

ON VETERANS DAY 2024

November 11, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Veterans Day is for the old folks who remember their youth and those who were young with them. They remember the young people who didn’t have the chance to get old. My Dad got a chance to get old. He out-lived his Dad, just like I’m out-living him.

OREGON DUCKS, #1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL, BUT . . . ?

November 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Oregon Ducks show no signs of slowing down. They’re not migrating, not flying south for the winter, not going anywhere. No problems in Duck-land?
