BIG BROTHER WORK NEVER ENDS

September 14, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Big brother comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. A good big brother can be a guiding light. Growing up with someone who knows their role can set the stage for a good life. On the other hand? Roles can change.

WORKING KITCHEN HARD AT WORK

September 13, 2023 by David Gillaspie

A Working Kitchen comes in two versions in my experience: One: A place to make food. Two: A place to show off cooking gear. Who’s hungry?

September 12, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Feeling lucky after doing everything right? That’s not luck, it’s proper preparation. Then it all goes wrong? That’s not luck either.

RISK MANAGEMENT FOR MARRIAGE

September 11, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Does risk management apply to marriage? Only if you’re married. Single people have other risks to mitigate. So what are the risks for married people? The biggest risk is in not apologizing often enough. For example:

CONTENT CREATION QUESTIONS TO ASK

September 10, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Content creation are not my two favorite words. Content Creator sounds like a title bestowed by the Gods of the Internet. But if your goal is creating content for an online audience, where do you start? Ask a blogger with a track record of post production if you know one. If you don’t know an […]

BUS DRUGS IN PORTLAND OREGON ‘DRUG DOME?’

September 9, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Bus drugs, train drugs, and airplane drugs are a voluntary thing. Traditionally. Score a bag, hide it away in the last place any normal person would ever look, and be on your way. But not in Portland? Because Portland is soooo different?

OREGON DAY, JUST ONE OREGON DAY

September 8, 2023 by David Gillaspie

On one Oregon day I saw U.S. Representative Andrea Salinas meet her people at the Tigard Library. The next day I drove around the countryside looking at what and who is represented. After joining the crowd in Tigard and listening to how Rep. Salinas spoke to them, I felt certain she had a good handle […]

IMPORTANT INFLUENCERS ARE OFTEN DISAPPOINTED?

September 7, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Important influencers, important people, play a numbers game. It’s their money, their followers, their address. Added together it all means, “Why won’t people pay more attention to me?” Here’s why, beginning with ‘The Money:’

ON PURPOSE WITH IMPORTANT IDEAS?

September 6, 2023 by David Gillaspie

On purpose, on track, on brand. That’s the mantra of the ‘never stops working’ crowd. A-lways. B-e. C-losing. They never stop. And now you’re one of them. You never stop, I never stop, and if we ever do?

EXTRA DOG TIME? SET THE CLOCK

September 5, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Extra dog time happens after you’ve had your last dog? Or your first dog? You could call any time spent with dogs extra time because they do something to the minutes and hours. I think it has something to do with 7 to 1 year ration, that a dog ages seven years to our one. […]
