BLOG CONTENT OR JUST A NORMAL EVENT

Blog content goes one way or another? Noooo.
It’s goes wherever it goes and takes you, and the writer, which is me, along.
Things don’t always match up the way imagined, like writing a post of great importance that gets five hits.
What was it lacking?

CAUTIOUS BABY BOOMER BLOGGER VISION

As a cautious baby boomer blogger harvesting stories and insights for more than four thousand (4031) blog posts running seven hundred and fifty words each, on average, comes to more than three million words.
Divide that by 90,000, the sweet spot number of words in a novel, and if I were a novelist I’d have written thirty three books by now.
Instead, I wrote, and continue to write, boomerpdx.
For that I blame higher education, college, grades 13-16, or 17, depending on your schedule.
There I was, a happy moron, happy to be dense, happy let it ride any which way life turned.

CITY LIFE SHARING: PORTLAND OREGON

City life sharing means getting the family together one way or another for a public event.
In a hotel ballroom.
For the occasion I wore my ballroom camel hair coat handed down from my father in-law, my bolo tie from Grandpa Marshall, a Columbia vest, and my whitest white shirt over my extra-white t-shirt.
I was thinking ‘Ralph Lauren meets NE Portland.’

If millennials vote correctly in 2026, their voice will be heard since they replaced baby boomers as the largest generation currently crowding everyone younger.
Speaking for all boomers, I offer apologies to Gen Z, Alpha, and Beta.
And this to the millennials: your welcome.
Now that they’re older they’ve discovered yearnings for what they’ve taken for granted, like clean air, clean water, and a clean conscience.
Now they have a chance to keep moving in the cleaner direction.

‘SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT (STA)?’ I’LL HANDLE THIS ONE

When an agency sends an email about a security threat assessment that is ‘underway’, I feel sort of special, but I can save a load of time if it includes scanning the internet for clues.
In this photo I’m a threat to all decent hotel bellhops.
Jed Clampet don’t need no bellhop. Git away from my travel sacks.
Hotel luggage cart threat?

BOOMER SUMMER SKIN CARE

Higher Temperatures Call For Baby Boomer Summer Skin Care. Skin is a living organ. It’s stuff that continually regenerates itself. If that’s hard to believe, scratch your arm over something dark. Look, you’re exfoliating and didn’t even know it. New skin sounds pretty good, like no maintenance. Baby boomers know better. We’ve been outside in […]

STEP UP TO THE JUICE BAR, BOOMER

Have One On The House. Doing a juice fast usually means one thing: lots of juice. Finishing a juice fast usually means one thing, too: no more juice. Neither is true. I just finished eight days of adapted juice fasting. Instead of going hardcore juicer, I adapted to a restricted calorie, limited choice diet, to […]

MODERN MILITARY GENIUS MISTAKE

How does military genius work? Start with technology. Military genius understands the role of technology. They’re geniuses for a reason. And they study stuff. Military genius comes in two flavors, weapons and tactics. It doesn’t take a genius to understand the evolution of weapons. Tactics are harder. The knife wins hand to hand fighting. The […]

HIKING BABY BOOMER PORTLAND, pt. 2

An incredible part of the city is feeling like you’re never far from the woods. There’s always a clearing, a trail to follow. And it feels safe enough to dive right in there. On a Friday I stopped on SW Terwilliger in between appointments. This is the road on the side of the hill below […]
