OLYMPIC YEAR TRAINING FOR ELECTION YEAR

July 15, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Why sports and elections both need Olympic Year Training. Every four years the Olympic Games roll around. With the Winter Games and Summer Games broken up, we get the Olympics every two years, but for now let’s use the four year schedule. Besides, it matches better with the American Presidential Election cycle. We’re not talking […]

BIG BUSINESS WEED LIFE

AGING MEN WITH LADY ISSUES

July 8, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Talk about aging men. Aging men need to listen. Women of a certain age say they’re invisible, that they’ve lost the power of attraction. With Sophia Loren is in the crowd there’s doubt about that. Aging men are different. They’ve lost the same power to attract the attention from the people they used to attract, […]

HACKED EMAILS OF HISTORY

July 7, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A greater truth from hacked emails. History is full of misunderstandings and mistakes from people on all sides. They didn’t start out making mistakes on purpose, but the results speak for themselves. Communication has always been an interpretive issue, like facial expression, tone, and body language through email. It doesn’t happen, but we don’t stop […]

WEIGHT ROOM POLITICS

July 6, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Who does the lifting in weight room politics? And where? Next time you’re in the gym take a good look around, I mean a really good look, and you’ll see something different. Without asking, BoomerPdx discovered the lifting habits of Democrats and Republicans. Using skills of pure observation, the old muckraker makes the call. And […]

In a search for holiday ideas, there’s BoomerPdx Style. Who drank a beer yesterday? Anyone? Super Patriot in their flag focused ensemble leads a toast. Slinky character in a DD214 t-shirt cheers him on. Everyone else joins in. If that’s your Fourth of July, you did it right. If it didn’t go that way, take […]

4th OF JULY PORTLAND FLAG HUNT

July 4, 2016 by David Gillaspie

Part of the fun of 4th of July in Portland is the Portland flag hunt. You can do it anywhere in the city, but walking along the waterfront is the best viewing. How many can you count between the Burnside and Hawthorne bridges? Leave the count and locations in comments. Of course a drone shot […]

MAKE AN OFFERUP YOU CAN’T REFUSE

July 2, 2016 by David Gillaspie

With a growing pile of ‘treasure’ don’t give up, OfferUp. If you have storage space, you probably have stuff in there. Maybe the stuff is in there to keep it out of sight. Like the bike that reminds you of another time in your life, a time when someone you cared about had the same […]

PORTLAND TAPROOMS: NINE COMMANDMENTS

June 29, 2016 by David Gillaspie

A cry for beer opened Portland taprooms, but suburban taprooms like Tigard’s Tapphoria make our day. An ocean of new beer flooded Oregon in the 1980’s. The original Portland Brewing next to the old Acapulco’s Gold on NW 14th and Flanders was enough to make beer lovers cry. Then things changed when small batch beer […]

FACEBOOK FRIENDS: A WHO’S WHO

June 23, 2016 by David Gillaspie

All Facebook friends are not created equal. Vanity Fair loves Facebook. Who doesn’t? Can a billion people a day be wrong? Or maybe they’re cuddling up to Mark Zuckerberg, The Man, The Face, of Facebook. Understandable if they are. He is one of the big biggies of the online world. His is the biggest face […]
