When The Lights Go Down In The City

January 17, 2014 by

The Neon Gets Better. On a cold, dark, night, a city asks for caution. Even the familiar takes on an extra foreboding.

Victim Marketing To Baby Boomers

January 3, 2014 by

Singing Through The Christmas Noise

December 24, 2013 by

Once the commercial side dies down, you still have to get home. Did you have a party? We organized singing. It lasted one Christmas carol. Someone misunderstood the rules of Karaoke. You need music with scrolling words, not scrolling words with guitar chords and no guitar. I don’t remember the song, but one Christmas spirited young […]

When Baby Boomers Need Advice They Ask Boomers. How About You

December 18, 2013 by

Every month a group meets to discuss their entrepreneurial progress. Why? Because there’s something magical about belonging to a group of motivated people breaking new ground. Most are baby boomers, or have the spirit. They’ve broken new ground, old ground, and everything else most of their lives. If they’re not all boomers, then they’ve earned […]

December 5, 2013 by

Portland Baby Boomers need to pay attention to Money Journal at moneyjournal.com. They just named Portland the top of their top ten most liked U.S. cities.

Hillsdale Paella vs La Pepica Paella

November 11, 2013 by

Portland Oregon or Valencia Spain? With any luck Baby Boomers outgrow their bad food childhoods. Learning a new name for those food memories helps. One tortuous dish on the kid menu was called Spanish Rice. It was minute rice, tomato sauce, hamburger, and huge chunks of kryptonite green pepper. No one called it paella. No […]
