November 23, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Thanksgiving givers showed up after I moved to Portland, Oregon in 1980. I was gone a short time to learn how people get engaged and unengaged. The lesson I learned sunk in while I trolled Brooklyn, NY. Then it was time to come back.

November 9, 2022 by David Gillaspie

October 24, 2022 by David Gillaspie

SHARING BLAME FOR AIR QUALITY: YOU’RE NOT THE PROBLEM?

October 21, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Sharing blame requires a pointy finger to wag. Something happens, plans go sideways, and instead of fun you find disappointment. You could move on, but what about the unfinished business? First you need to assign blame. Get that finger ready.

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.
