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.

OREGON BEAUTY FROM EVERY DIRECTION

September 18, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Oregon beauty starts with a walk out my front door. This is the view if I find the right spot, which I always do. (It’s not a mystery.) I think it would be a better without the trees, without the house, but that’s not how things work. That’s not how change happens, by wishing things […]

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.
