LEADERSHIP TRAINING WITH HOSPITALITY KING TRUMP

March 3, 2022 by

Leadership training comes in two flavors: you’re born with it, or you learn it. Those choices exclude too many, though. Some rise to leadership based on circumstances. Where someone would ordinarily lay back, the situation calls for them, for someone, to lean forward. Did Trump, the Hospitality King, receive leadership training, or was he born […]

PERMISSION SLIPS YOU DIDN’T KNOW YOU NEEDED

February 20, 2022 by

Permission slips help clear the way forward. When you need one, it’s good to have, whether you’re asked to show it or not. In school it was a Hall Pass, the golden ticket out of the classroom. Do adults need a permission slip? And if so, for what?

BEST CONCERT: A BOOMERPDX REVIEW

February 19, 2022 by

Reviewing for best concert happened the usual way: I opened a box of pictures and found Prince. I saw this show in 1985 for $17.50 with my then-girlfriend, driving up to Tacoma and back from Portland. We got married a year later. Prince The Closer?

February 7, 2022 by

Family caregiving takes a turn with a new generation lining up for duty. GenX looks ready. And like other generations before them, like the Baby Boomer Generation, it will all come as a big surprise.

READING HISTORY BOOKS YIELDS MORE THAN BARGAINED FOR

February 3, 2022 by

Reading history books is about more than validating the opinion you already have.

THE WORLD STOPS FOR NO ONE. HOW DO I KNOW?

February 1, 2022 by

The world stops for you, and you, and you, because you need a break? And it stops for the rest of us because things are moving a little too fast? Hold that thought. Hold the next one, too. Hold it tight.

January 31, 2022 by

Joe Rogan looks suspiciously like the sort of man who told Neil and everyone else to get a haircut in the 60’s. ‘We don’t need your type hanging around our town making noise.’ And here we are with Neil’s noise ever since. Maybe Joe could tell him to cut his sideburns? Who is this Joe? […]

OREGON DEFENDER? FACING ADVERSITY FROM THE INSIDE

January 20, 2022 by

The state of Oregon doesn’t need any defending, but a series of maps was practically an invitation for an Oregon Defender. The rest of the states can find their own defenders, and they need them. Before breaking down these maps from inside the Oregon border, they came from the Parent Influence dot com website, which […]

PORTLAND WRITING: WHAT TO SAY AFTER IT’S ALL BEEN SAID

January 13, 2022 by

Portland writing classes made it seem like everyone in town was a writer. Publish a book and that’s good enough to fill a teacher’s role? Yes it is. Word of mouth got around, a friend offers space, and people pay to show up and listen. And learn. But what do you learn?
