WRESTLING WITH CANCER via Coping With Cancer Magazine

May 31, 2018 by David Gillaspie

(The following is the text from Wrestling With Cancer. The article appears below.) Cancer and the sport of wrestling have at least one thing in common: there are situations you get in that you can’t easily get out of. At least wrestling has a final whistle to end the match. Cancer […]

NIKE CANCER TEAM TRAINING CAMP REVIEW

May 15, 2018 by David Gillaspie

After a diagnosis for hpv throat cancer I found a cancer team. An Ear, Nose, and Throat specialist, a radiation oncologist, and a chemo-therapy oncologist, all gathered data for my best outcome. That was the shared goal. I had a couple of others I shared with them, like avoiding opioid addiction and secondary […]

ELLMAN SURGITRON AND DR. MOLEPDX

May 4, 2018 by David Gillaspie

What To Do If You Start Looking Like W.C. Fields? Make an appointment with Dr. MolePDX and the Ellman Surgitron. Like most baby boomers I see new things when I look in the mirror. Some things are better than others. One in particular was troublesome. What do you do when you […]

HOW TO INTERACT WITH RAJNEESH CULT MEMBERS ON PORTLAND STREETS

April 21, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Most days after work in the 80’s I walked the same way to my NW Portland apartment. The path took me past a place called the Martha Washington on SW 11th. I walked the same way so I could talk to an interesting woman from the museum. Note to remember: All museum […]

Two Shades Of Boomer Travel

March 13, 2018 by David Gillaspie

Even when you go someplace you’ve never been, you’ll find shades of familiar. It takes a special place, one filled with its own internal music, to make everything old feel new again. The band in my brain cranked up in Barcelona, Spain when I saw the Gaudi church, La Sagrada Família. […]

NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIANS KNOW NUTRITION FIRST

February 27, 2018 by David Gillaspie

My wife shared a joke with me. She’s a naturopathic physician, Dr. Gillaspie. It had nothing to do with the old television show with young Dr. Kildare and his colleague Dr. Gillaspie. “Early in our practices doctors from my class would talk about what it must be like as an RD, a real […]

FACEBOOK WINGS ON AMERICAN AIRLINES

January 18, 2018 by David Gillaspie

I stood across the concourse, the airport hallway, from my check in studying my boarding pass with Group Nine printed on the bottom right side. Group Nine is last to board, last to sit, and last to find an overhead bin for the carry-on. Luckily my wife and I were flying […]

A VERY MYSTERIO CHRISTMAS 2017, AND BEYOND

December 26, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Part of Mysterio Christmas means identifying with the season. Nothing says Mysterio Christmas like the right hat. And the right woman by your side. Nike, Goddess of Victory is a good choice. But the most important part of Mysterio Christmas? Bringing the spirit like you mean it:

SELF MYTHOLOGY: DEATH, DYING, PAT CONROY’S DAD

December 18, 2017 by David Gillaspie

What are the best stories told but the ones we tell about ourselves. From Greek gods to Steinbeck sharecroppers we can be whoever we like when we tell our own stories. Of course the best self mythology comes from the biggest liars and you can’t believe a word they say, still we need […]
