BOOMER ENTERTAINMENT: A NICE RESTAURANT

January 13, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Boomer entertainment starts with a dinner plan. Eat in, get take out, or sit at a tiny table in a ritzy restaurant.

BEACH TOWN? THERE’S ONLY ONE

January 11, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Beach town is where I grew up. We had beaches all over the place, surrounded by beaches. But it was a bay town, a town on Coos Bay. Just not Coos Bay.

ENTHUSIASTIC ENERGY FOR BETTER LIVING

January 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Enthusiastic energy comes from a special place. Sports fans show it at every game, match, or contest. Literary fans show it at readings and awards. The difference?

CHOPPED CHAMPIONS WITH LIFE LESSONS

January 9, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Chopped champions get crowned at the end of the Chopped show on Food Channel. It’s a cooking competition that begins with four people working with strange food selections.

FITNESS WORK STARTS WITH . . .

January 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Fitness work starts with a glancing look in a mirror, a reflection in a window. Or your wife asking, “What happened?” However, if you’re not married, no problem. There are still plenty of body shaming opinions shared quietly. Just not with you.

FIRST POST OF 2024: THE HOPE PLAN

January 1, 2024 by David Gillaspie

The first post of the year feels like the other 365 from last year, more or less. Every one has had the potential of searing an idea into someone else’s brain. When something makes an impression on you, don’t you write it out until it makes sense? Let’s dedicate 2024 to writing it out until […]
