A full house comes in a variety of forms. But you knew that. There’s cards, then there’s my houseful last night. How full?

TOO OLD FOR A NEW STORY?

February 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Too old to start over? The big hurdles begin with the definition of ‘start’ and ‘over.’ To start, just to start, is a fight against inertia to move forward on a project. There’s that page for a new story. The letters won’t get on there by themselves.

HIDDEN WRITING HYPE FROM THE FIELD

February 17, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The hidden writing on boomerpdx is in plain sight. But ‘plain sight’ isn’t what it used to be. It’s not that I use livestock viewing code: “M r pigs, I c m.”

GENERATIONAL GENERALITIES? DON’T TAKE THEM TO HEART

February 14, 2024 by David Gillaspie

I admit that generational generalities come in handy. I use them all the time when I’m feeling too lazy to read anything new. Like a checked box, they are what they are and will never change. Never, ever, change. Except when they do. Then what?

PRIORITY LIST: WHERE TO START?

February 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Priority list? Maybe you call it something else. What if it’s a list someone makes for you? From wife: Honey Do. At work: To Do. Your friends: How do you do? But this is your list. What happens if urgency doesn’t feel like a priority?

MORE FOOD? IT’S NOT A QUESTION

February 12, 2024 by David Gillaspie

There’s more food on the table. Have another plate. If it’s Super Bowl Sunday you’ll ruin your team’s chances if you don’t gorge yourself. The barbecued little sausages won’t eat themselves. Grab a toothpick. Homemade Buffalo wings? Right there.

BOOMER BAR SETS HIGH STANDARDS

February 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who set the baby boomer bar for making a better world for our children? Our parents, our grandparents, our teachers, and coaches? If that’s your guess, it’s a good one. But who set it so high; why did they do that to us?

POWER TOOTH FILLS THE GAP

February 8, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The power tooth, as defined on this blog, is more than a tooth. It is all your teeth, a lifetime of teeth. Is that powerful enough for you to keep up with them? More importantly, powerful enough for me, the tooth blogger?

DEATH WISH? IT’S JUST A STAGE

February 7, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Death wish yourself into being a better person? “If I can’t be who I think I am I’d rather die.” Is that a wish, or a condition? I don’t know, but what I do know is ‘the end’ is the end. Most of the time.

WINNING ARGUMENTS: THEN AND NOW

February 6, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Winning arguments with strangers is one thing; winning the same argument with someone close comes with side-effects. Someone close? How close. Let’s start with an internal argument, that little voice that won’t go away. Can’t get any closer than that, huh?
