INSIGHTFUL AGING TAKES PRACTICE

January 23, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Insightful aging? Oh yeah, I’ve got insight. It’s not such a reach when you see people leaving the party way too soon. Once you’re done, you’re done, then the question is how will you be remembered? So how will you be remembered? How do you want to be remembered?

January 16, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Winning now, right now, is more important the older you get. It’s like that when you have more seasons behind you than you do ahead. Phil Knight is eighty-five; Jerry Jones is eighty-one. Would it be too much to ask that they go out winners? First for the Ducks:

January 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Fitness work starts with a glancing look in a mirror, a reflection in a window. Or your wife asking, “What happened?” However, if you’re not married, no problem. There are still plenty of body shaming opinions shared quietly. Just not with you.

NOW WHAT? GREEN FATIGUE POWER

January 2, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Another year? Now what? I gave the most important Christmas present this year, one that will resonate in eternity, or maybe through January.
