GRAVITATIONAL PLAYERS, PEOPLE

January 4, 2025 by David Gillaspie

Gravitational players do what? They find the ball and put it where it belongs. They make the move that changes the game. They are the people that make a difference. Some of the players with that sort of pull?

BUCKEYE BEACH FOR THE WIN

January 2, 2025 by David Gillaspie

Buckeye Beach is for winners. After THE Ohio State football team finished their Rosebowl Game they need a little rest. It was a big win for the blue blood Buckeyes and they had to be thirsty. All Oregon beaches get a name change in their honor. It’s an honor with cautions. Anyone facing the Ohio […]

OLD YEAR, NEW YEAR, GOODYEAR

December 31, 2024 by David Gillaspie

With the old year out, the new year in, why not plan a road trip on a set of Goodyears? What else sounds better than Goodyear? A new year deserves a slice of goodness to balance what comes next. But that’s still to come.

MAJESTIC OREGON COAST REVIEW

December 30, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Majestic Oregon shows up in the mountains, the valleys, and the coast. When you call Oregon majestic, and you’ve been to the mountains and valleys, go to the coast. It’s called majestic for a reason: You can’t call it warm and welcoming, at least not in the winter.

HEALTH PLAN? WHERE TO START

December 29, 2024 by David Gillaspie

One health plan: don’t get sick. After that it’s a roll of the dice. But chances are pretty good you will come down with something, hopefully not THAT something, the devastating something that shakes so hard that all of the leaves and nuts and fruit fall off your tree. With that in mind, let’s start […]

SOVING PROBLEMS, THEN FINDING MORE

December 28, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Solving problems is a process. One of the first steps, if not ‘the’ first step, is identifying the problem. The important part is not solving every problem at the same time. Pick one. (Not that one.)

GROWN MEN WITH EMOTIONS IN CHECK

December 27, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Grown men are expected to keep their emotions in check. They need to keep calm and carry on. Add grown women in there, too. We have expectations of emotional maturity. I know I do, but there are times. For example:

MORE ‘WANT TO?’ BUT WHERE IS IT

December 26, 2024 by David Gillaspie

‘Want to’ is what you need starting out. More ‘want to’ is what it takes to keep going. Some folks use it all in the start-up phase, others in the keep going phase. Then there’s the closer who never runs out.
