Breitenbush Retreat: Advancing Forward In Peace

October 19, 2017 by

    Tell a conservative baby boomer man about a Breitenbush Retreat and expect to hear:   Yeah, sure, we did it all back in college. Sure, it’s all about whatever. What? Oh sure.   The idea of a retreat is foreign to them now that they’ve hit the years that aren’t so kind.   […]

Lighten Up While You Still Can

September 18, 2017 by

    When The Eagles sing Take It Easy, the line that stands out for me is, ‘Lighten up while you still can.’ It’s the same when Jackson Browne and James Taylor sing it.   Baby boomers know how hard it is to lighten up better than anyone. Lighting up too, but that’s another post. […]

Cancer Message Still In The Merck Ad Mess

August 29, 2017 by

  Call me a late bloomer. Maybe you are too? My discoveries and enthusiasm come after most things have moved on. But it still counts for something. At least that’s what I tell myself. I’m telling you, too, it still counts, you still count.   I’m late to see the parent shaming ad for hpv16 […]

FAMILY COLLECTIONS OVERLOAD? OFFERUP

August 22, 2017 by

    Where is the line between family collections and hoarding? How can you tell when you’re over that line, way over?   In this well researched post on BoomerPdx I will dip into the experience of a Museum Collection Manager for an interview. Readers familiar with such details will automatically know what I’m talking […]

ADULT RESPONSIBILITY TAKES AN ADULT? SAYS WHO

August 10, 2017 by

No finer whine comes from any other generation. Should we all take a lesson from baby boomers’ and our adult reponsibility? Of course, and here’s why: no age group has shouldered more burden. And it’s so, so, hard. Just ask us. Ask the next old person you see who insists they are as vital and […]

ABIQUA FALLS DREAMSCAPE, OREGON TREASURE

August 5, 2017 by

  Who knew of the Abiqua Falls dreamscape? The last thing a know-it-all wants is something new, something they don’t know. It’s a problem for some, a challenge for others. A short walk to a river and waterfall? That’s what the listings say, but not if you like your car. Then it’s a longer walk, […]

SPORTS SKILLS BUILD A BRIDGE

August 3, 2017 by

An old man, at least my age, pushes a three hundred pound bench press. How does that happen? Sports skills. The mom of four runs a three hour marathon. The retired teacher swims like a shark. Older people have tapped into something. Call it inspiration. Call it perseverance. Call it good luck. What can younger […]

YOKE BUILDING PULLS A BETTER LIFE, BUT HOW

August 3, 2017 by

If you’re called yoked it’s not a joke, and it’s not about woodworking. It’s a compliment. Someone noticed your gains. They think you’re strong. You look strong, feel strong, and it’s because you lift weights. Whether a fitness lifestyle or just trying it out, lifting changes your body. Strong as an ox? Not a bad […]

HEALTHCARE BULLY PREYS ON THE WEAKEST

July 22, 2017 by

  Any coherent healthcare bully debate needs to go beyond the numbers, the insurance companies. Beyond drug company research and development that puts the BIG in Big Pharma. It’s about who the healthcare bully reaches for in the debate. The most vulnerable, of course. The population currently undergoing severe medical treatment. I’ll use cancer treatment […]

SEATTLE WORKS HARD FOR THE TOP SPOT

July 17, 2017 by

    A money man gave me the short history of how important places draw the right people to them, how they work. In the emerging Industrial Revolution world London was the center of the universe. Anyone with dreams and aspirations of being somebody, of one day being The Man, moved to London. Things changed […]
