BOOMER WALK IN COOK PARK

November 25, 2024 by David Gillaspie

A boomer walk is like any walk. Put on a pair of shoes and lay one foot after the other. Simple, right? But since it’s a boomer thing, there’s more. There’s always more. In this case . . .

BASIC APPRECIATION OF COMMON THINGS

November 24, 2024 by David Gillaspie

A basic appreciation is important for context. Things are usually more complicated than they seem. A brick is a brick, just some fired up mud, until you see them working together. In the hands of a skilled craftsman, a brick is a jewel. What else deserves a second look? A towel rack.

TALKING DOWN TO SOMEONE? WHY

November 23, 2024 by David Gillaspie

How can you tell when someone is talking down to you? It might be the clarification questions you ask that gets them annoyed to the point of explaining everything a few times, very slowly. Or it might their regular way of communicating. Which leads to more questions, like, “Why be a jerk?

November 22, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Falling leaves are the rule of the season. The only place without a carpet of leaves is a parking garage. But that’s Oregon, famous for trees.

PIE DELIVERY FROM NICOLETTA’S TABLE

November 21, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Pie delivery is easy with such elegant packages. Two pies, pumpkin and pecan, all wrapped and ready. Nicoletta’s Kitchen is full of surprises. But how do they get from point A to point B? Me.

GROWING UP AND STAYING SHARP

November 19, 2024 by David Gillaspie

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

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

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?
