THE SINS OF BABY BOOMER FATHERS

January 30, 2014 by

January 28, 2014 by

How many times do you hear it among those of a certain age, like your age: “No one notices me anymore.” Men or women, they say it like it’s the biggest loss of their life. What do they want, their own personal paparazzi? No one worships at the boomer alter. They never did unless they […]

Edward Hopper’s Portland?

January 27, 2014 by

The Perfect Painter For Dark Days Of The Soul. You’re not the first Portland baby boomer to wake up on a Sunday with no NFL games that matter. No early game, no late game, no Football Night In America game. You’re depressed, but don’t want to admit it’s because of no football. College ball is […]

How To Be A Media Star In Seattle

January 22, 2014 by

Richard Sherman Takes A Bow. For all the sweet talk between opponents, no one except the Seahawks and their fans embrace the Seattle cornerback. He plays an isolation position and seems to live the same way. Don’t mistake this man for Pacman Jones and the ‘scrip club’ rain. Don’t put him with Hollywood Henderson, the […]

Older Boomer Means Old. Then What?

January 20, 2014 by

And None Of The Rest Of You Are Off The Hook Either. Maybe it’s just me, but the age limit for elder complaints seems to be dropping fast.
