The Baby Boomer Prince

July 24, 2013 by

How does the Royal Family bring out so many opposing opinions? The Queen is selfish for hanging onto the throne so long. Or, she’s smart not to step aside for her ding-a-ling oldest son, Prince Charles. Charles went over his head to marry Diana. Or, Charles followed his heart for Camilla. Go ahead and pile […]

NW Boomer And Fortune

July 15, 2013 by

As In Tyrell Fortune From Oregon. Misinformed sports fans complain about July. No NBA, just the draft and Summer League. No NFL, just bad news and more bad news about players and guns. Major League Baseball might work since it’s the All-Star Game, but not with a list of players violating drug policy waiting for […]

You see yourself as a caring baby boomer? If you live in Portland, Oregon, add a twist to keep it weird enough to fit in. Your kids are grown, maybe moved out. Your parents haven’t moved in with you and you haven’t moved in with them. Call it living the dream with your wife, husband, […]

Boomer Mayor

Charlie Hales Marches The Rose Festival Parade The Mayor & I Every year my goal for the Portland Rose Festival Parade starts the same. Like everyone else, I try to see as much of the parade and people as possible. You can’t do that from a lawn chair. You have to move, which makes for good boomer exercise. […]

My boomerpdx wife and I drove the main highway through town one Saturday listening to the radio. One song started at a long stoplight, a haunting voice and a beautiful melody. I didn’t know it then but it was Rihanna singing Stay. The first verse made me blink my eyes the way I do on […]

The Fishing Baby Boomer

May 14, 2013 by

or, Why Does The Columbia River Like My Wife Better Being a Portland baby boomer means you’re an outdoorsman. Being an outdoorsman in Oregon means you hunt and fish. You just can’t go to your backyard and stand around and call yourself an outdoorsman. That’s not how it works, so get your fishing pole.
