BOOMER BAR SETS HIGH STANDARDS

February 10, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Who set the baby boomer bar for making a better world for our children? Our parents, our grandparents, our teachers, and coaches? If that’s your guess, it’s a good one. But who set it so high; why did they do that to us?

TEFLON DON TO VELCRO DON

January 27, 2024 by David Gillaspie

Teflon Don was the name given to John Gotti for his slipperiness with law enforcement. Nothing stuck. They had the old gangster right up until it mattered. But he didn’t fit the old gangster mold. The big guy worked another angle. For this post I use only the most impeccable sources.

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?

GOOD PITCH, BAD DELIVERY, LESSON LEARNED?

November 21, 2023 by David Gillaspie

When you hear a good pitch from someone you’re considering hiring, it matters. You’ll hire a hype man instead of the quiet craftsman with a good record. How does that usually work out? This is a picture of a call for a plumbing bid?

BLOG SURFER? THE TIDE IS HIGH, BRAH

November 13, 2023 by David Gillaspie

I imagine the blog surfer who lands on boomerpdx. More than imagine, I get to read about them. At least that’s how I see my personal spam, my surfer spam. For example:

ANNOYING WORDS. ONLY WORDS?

August 2, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Annoying words can be found everywhere. In any book, on any TV show, and coming out of the mouths of people I like. Go ahead and sweep your life clear of people who don’t respect your point of view, your ‘beliefs’, or the car you drive, and you’ll still be stuck with annoying words. In […]

COMPLAINING COMPLAINER EXPLAINED

July 15, 2023 by David Gillaspie

How does a complaining complainer solve problems? First they complain. Then they complain some more. To wrap things up they add a little more complaining. There you go, problem solved. Or is it?

TRANSIT TIME: FOUR EXAMPLES

November 29, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Transit time for container ships? If you order from Amazon and expect next day, or same day delivery, it’s not fast enough. The containers carry the world in them, from factory to you. Unless they get stuck in the Suez Canal, Panama Canal, or Chesapeake Bay. Expect delays.

ANGRY MOB: A JAN. 6 REMINDER

October 14, 2022 by David Gillaspie

An angry mob attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. How angry? Murderously angry. They were pumped and primed for action on the words of soft old man pretending to be a hard gear warrior. The revolution was televised after all. Just not the revolution expected.

MESA ARIZONA NEEDS A SHOWER

October 10, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Mesa Arizona is not fly-over country, but it might be drive-through country. It’s the sort of place between where you are and where you want to go. Oddly enough, not everyone shares this back-water idea. Mesa Arizona is a backwater? Not with the Salt River flowing nearby.
