BOOMER HEALTH: BE HARDER TO KILL

December 17, 2019 by

To new readers, boomer health is a common concern: I had cancer, don’t now, but I don’t identify as a cancer survivor. The category I see myself in is Chemo and Radiation Survivor.

LEGACY BOOMERS LEARN TO TELL TIME AND TURN BACK CLOCK

December 14, 2019 by

Legacy boomers showed up early. They were the first wave of kids when Johnny marched home after WWII. Families started between 1946-1952 produced future hippies and draft dodgers and leaders. Those are the people referred to when millennials drag baby boomers with “Ok Boomer.” So the rest of us get a pass? Uh, no. And […]

GOING FULL BOOMER: WHAT IT IS

December 13, 2019 by

Full boomer is not a goal to achieve, it is a scene to avoid. How do I know this? Evidence, I have evidence, and it’s not something I read, or saw on TV.

FUTURE YOU, FUTURE ME, UH HUH, WHICH ONE IS GOING TO BE

December 11, 2019 by

Will future you be alone in the world, walking the same path until the end of days? Future me says, “I hope not.” I’ve got a habit of watching people when they don’t know I’m watching. I especially like watching people who remind me of a different time.

December 8, 2019 by

During a cruise through the twitterverse, one interesting question appeared, the question of starting a new blog. The query seemed sincere, so I responded with this: use WordPress, genesis framework, and a mobile-ready Studiopress theme, along with yoast seo. Now you’re ready to launch. It turned into a useful conversation with a writer in what […]

SHORTHAND FOR OK BOOMER? OK, B

December 6, 2019 by

Can we finally stop the OK Boomer fun? What’s it been, a week, a month, ten years, since it first came out? Let’s clean it up a little, maybe cut a syllable to a simple “Ok, B.” Baby boomers don’t want to tax the time others take to say something as clever as “Ok, boomer.” […]

REALITY vs STAGED: TRUST YOUR JUDGEMENT MORE THAN THE DREAM

December 4, 2019 by

Who hasn’t had reality bite them on the butt when they see a new place and say, “I thought it would be different.” It’s a companion piece to, “This doesn’t look like I imagined.” Not to leave out, “I’m still glad to be here.” When I visited Versailles I had expectations, which were fueled by […]

ART HISTORY FOR THE ART FANS

December 3, 2019 by

The two words, art and history, joined together as Art History, are too often dismissed as an elite thing, which is code for “who gives a damn.” “Oooo, art, tell me more,” said no one ever, unless the speaker had an agenda to fulfill, like trashing on something they don’t like. But art history is […]

BIKE RIDING THROUGH LIFE: YOU CRASH AND YOU GET UP

December 1, 2019 by

The big part of bike riding, of biking, is staying upright, staying balanced. Is it a stretch to say the same thing about life and the experiences we collect along the way. We take the good and the bad, and remember the bike we were on; we remember the path we were on and what […]
