September 17, 2022 by David Gillaspie

WebMD Asks: “What Happens When You Stop Having Sex?” For early personal health, the talk about sex for baby boomers usually happened in junior high. If it didn’t come from a parent, it came from health class, Mr. Peasley’s health class. There’s nothing like a strict PE teacher talking about sex in a gender segregated […]

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?

LEAVING PORTLAND IN 1974

September 8, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Leaving Portland in 1974 was quite memorable. Memorable departures usually have a location in mind. I was headed to Fort Ord, California and the All-Volunteer Army on September 6, 1974. What was I thinking?

AMAZON PRIME DELIVERING MORE THAN ORDERED?

September 2, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Amazon Prime ruled the road during a recent outing. It wasn’t every car, but enough to make me wonder: ‘Are these electric vans? Why aren’t they electric vans?’ I must have wondered aloud because my wife said, “This is a lot of vans. What’s going on. You should blog this.” So . . .
