CYLVIA HAYES MOTHER SAYS…?

February 7, 2015 by David Gillaspie

From Dr. Hook To Dr. K. Cylvia Hayes Sings The Song. Like any responsible blogger I read the news. Online, cable, paper delivery. That’s being responsible. Call it part of a dying baby boomer culture but a newspaper makes real things more real. It can’t get more real than the front page of the Oregonian’s […]

A NEIGHBORHOOD MURDER

February 4, 2015 by David Gillaspie

How Close Is Too Close? Social media beat regular news to the punch. Again. No, it wasn’t Arab Spring and twitter. Not a former USSR satellite and a new Russian claim. How about a nice Portland, Oregon suburb and facebook? A facebook friend posted the story the moment they saw it…from Texas. The official story […]

WHO PLAYS STORY MUSGRAVE IN THE STORY MUSGRAVE STORY?

December 19, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Seventy nine year old Story Musgrave is a name we all should know. My sons saw the movie Interstellar and decided it was the perfect show for their old man’s sixtieth birthday. And they were right. I was moved by a movie, which is what’s supposed to happen, right? I left with a yearning feeling […]

A SMALL PANEL FOR THE FULL COURT PRESS

December 5, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Willamette Writers Heard The Word. What’s it take to get writers out of their rooms, to get them to interact with people beyond their circle of usual suspects? A Willamette Writers meeting does it every time. Cookies, coffee, and the Old Church make an enticing lure in downtown Portland. Who wouldn’t go? WW pulls membership […]

BABY BOOMERS: OLDER SIBLINGS OF THE WORLD

November 29, 2014 by David Gillaspie

When Big Brother Is A Good Thing. In a large sense baby boomers have become the big brother of the world. Boomers young (50) and old (68) have caught plenty of heat over the years, but their influence is everywhere. Save the earth? Peace? Equality? Women’s rights? Gay rights? In such a huge demographic, baby […]

THEY’RE HERS AND SHE KEPT THEM

November 21, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Laura Ross-Paul launched a book in downtown Portland last night, not just any book. In an event at the Froelick Gallery she read a passage from “THEY’RE MINE AND I’M KEEPING THEM, How freezing my breast saved my breast.” This was a woman in victory after the hard work of fighting breast cancer. It was […]

November 11, 2014 by David Gillaspie

THE ZAC BROWN BAND PLAYS TO BABY BOOMERS?

September 30, 2014 by David Gillaspie

Head to a country music concert and what do you get? A Boomer Field Report: It was a Sunday, warmer than most for the time of year in the top left corner of America. The locals weren’t fooled.
