BOOMMATES IS A THING?

May 1, 2025 by David Gillaspie

‘Boommates’ is a new translation for roommates, which is kind of catchy. But is it the new kind of new, or a recycle job, after all we did grow up with the Odd Couple. The movie came out in 1968.

BOOMER CONFUSION RIPE FOR HARVEST

April 23, 2025 by David Gillaspie

Boomer confusion is rampant, just ask. If it’s not one thing, it’s another, until it’s everything all of the time. One think I like to remind myself about: Golden eggs do not come from a goose.

PUBLIC BLOG, PRIVATE READERS

April 19, 2025 by David Gillaspie

Dear Friends, I’ve come to realize that writing a public blog is a time hog. According to an expert (wife), it’s not normal. And I don’t disagree. But I like it. Sound familiar?

April 15, 2025 by David Gillaspie

DANGEROUS COMBINATIONS TO BE WARY OF

April 9, 2025 by David Gillaspie

Dangerous combinations come in every variety in all walks of life. In baseball it’s a fastball followed by an off-speed pitch for a third strike. For boxing it’s a left jab followed by a right cross for a knockout. In football it’s a running play followed by a pass. But, what about the non-sporty stuff? […]
