OREGON BEACH PEOPLE FOR A DAY, MAYBE TWO

January 18, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

PACE YOURSELF FOR BEST RESULTS

January 17, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

“Pace yourself.” That’s what you tell yourself the first time you quit something from exhaustion. It’s what you say before the next time you start the thing that made you quit.

January 16, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

A steward for life is one who leaves things better than they found them. Is it too much to ask? Maybe it’s just something old people think of? Quick reminder: you get older faster than you think you will, so . . .

CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS AND US

January 15, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Cultural institutions like new members. They like to get people involved and interested. It’s a good idea, unless you’re like me and had no idea what an institution is. Or what culture is. Now I know, and it’s just in time.

January 13, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

A life goal is to make money? If that’s the goal, and you accomplish it, what kind of a life to you have? Now you can relax and slow down? That’s not what billionaires do, so why would you?

January 12, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Clean up on aisle me? I got the best advice on how it’s done, how I can do it. You, too. “Pick one shelf, take everything off, and put back less.” There’s nothing about starting a fire.

CRYING TIME CAN BE ANY TIME

January 10, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Crying time in my family is . . . complicated. Not one gets called a cry baby, made fun of, or ignored. But there’s a thought that some of us aren’t fans of a good cry. And they’re wrong.

MOUNT HOOD VIEW FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD

January 9, 2025 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

The Mount Hood view is so good from the neighborhood that streets are named after it. That’s what you get in a town near a mountain. You could say a town near a mountain range since there’s also a view of Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Adams to the north, Mt. Jefferson to the south […]
