HOW BABY BOOMERS PUSHED WOMEN’S HEALTH

April 1, 2016 by

Even in 2016 women’s health is a hot button topic? 1973, the year of de-criminalized marijuana and Roe v Wade. What could go wrong?

AGING BOOMERS THIN THEIR HERD

Years pile on aging boomers and they get stuck under them. Back in college days at University of Oregon, one class had a red ass teacher: Community Service and Public Administration.

BABY BOOMERS RUINED AMERICA? NO, YOU DID.

March 9, 2016 by

BOOMERS FIND A WAY, NOT FADE AWAY

December 15, 2015 by

Boomers find a way, not fade away, in the time they share. How do you stay relevant or become relevant in something new? Too often baby boomers use the ‘invisible’ excuse as in, “I know I’m invisible because I remember when I wasn’t.” If that doesn’t ring a bell for you, give it a few […]
