OBEDIENCE TRAINING FOR COMPLIANCE

July 3, 2024 by

REIMAGINE, REUSE, RECYCLE, BABY BOOMERS

June 19, 2024 by

What’s the best example of reimagine, reuse, recycle? Old tires? Worn out shoes? Tea towels? Last I checked there’s a way to reuse old paint if it’s not dried in the can. What about old baby boomers who aren’t dried in the can?

EVERYDAY BLOGGER ON EVERYDAY TOPICS

June 10, 2024 by

An everyday blogger needs to stay sharp to what’s happening around them. If they don’t pay attention, they won’t be able to write a blog post. I’ve been cooking one up this morning, but I changed my routine. Instead of getting up, making tea, and sitting down to compose, I went to the gym. It […]

GIVING UP, BUT NOT A QUITTER?

May 4, 2024 by

Giving up is different than quitting. Really. Quitting means done, all over, finished. The Day I Quit. Giving up is a longer process. One is a reaction, the other a journey. Who’s got the map?

TOO MUCH? TOO MANY? WHEN CAN YOU TELL

April 13, 2024 by

Too much of anything is a problem, but not when someone else tells you. You’ve got to tell yourself. It’s that simple. And that difficult. But, as usual, there’s more to it.

DEDICATION, DEVOTION, WRITING A BLANK SCREEN ALIVE

April 4, 2024 by

BoomerPdx spam is very encouraging with kudos for dedication, devotion, and persistence. Persistence, not pestilence. For the most part I work to promote persistence in whatever field you find yourself in. You didn’t get there by accident.

LIVING HISTORY? IT WORKS FOR ME

March 28, 2024 by

Living history is what you see when people put on costumes and churn butter. At least that’s what comes to mind for most people. It’s a farm, a museum, a town. History is one thing; living it another. Which one is right for you? I have the right answer:
