‘BE PRESENT,’ SAYS YOUNG BOOMER HIPPIE

September 25, 2022 by David Gillaspie

FAIR FIGHT FOR DIFFICULT BABY BOOMER TIMES

September 24, 2022 by David Gillaspie

A fair fight isn’t a real fight. If you’re in a fight you don’t want, what has fighting fair got to do with it? The goal of a fight you don’t want is to end it as fast as you can. This goal applies to marriage, jobs, kids, and home repair. Make it personal.

HISTORY PEOPLE IN OUR MIDST

September 21, 2022 by David Gillaspie

BANNED BOOKS ON BANNED BOOK WEEK?

September 19, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Banned books sounds like a term from the Middle Ages, or the Spanish Inquisition where you might pay with your life if the wrong book was found on your property. Book bans are nothing new, and don’t last, but in our hyper-alert social medial world that makes it feel like the world is collapsing every […]

BLOG WRITER EXPLAINS TRAFFIC BUMP

September 16, 2022 by David Gillaspie

This blog writer never stops to ask, ‘Why bother,’ when it comes to writing anything. Whether I draw one reader in, or four thousand, the work is the same: Find something worth writing about, then do it in a way worth reading. Some days come in hot.

RELATIONSHIP REPORT CARDS ON BOOMERPDX

September 10, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Relationship report cards should always be filled out by a third party. We already know how the principal partners grade: “It wasn’t me, it was them.” Sound like an A grade to you? But it’s never that easy. Nor should it be. Who is a qualified third party?
