BOX LIKE ALI TO LOSE WEIGHT

June 4, 2014 by David Gillaspie

The weight loss industry works to turn big people into smaller versions of their former selves. Small people don’t take to it the same way. They don’t want to get much smaller than they already are.

SUNDAY WRESTLING DRIVE TO OREGON STATE

November 18, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

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.

GARAGE GOALS FOR THE NEAR FUTURE

October 26, 2024 by David Gillaspie Leave a Comment

Garage goals come in two types: clean and messy. Take a mechanics garage for example. One is organized and tidy in a messy business; the other shows old parts stacked in corners and debris all around. Who do you want working on your car?
