USE SPORTS EARLY TO CURB ABUSE LATER

September 18, 2014 by

But Which Sport? Early sportswriters didn’t write about sports as we know them. Those were desperate times of high mortality. Humans didn’t seem as far up the food chain then. If we believe wiki, sprinting and wrestling made it onto the first sports page/cave painting 17,000 years ago. Say, “for your life,” after each sport […]

August 29, 2014 by

Score For Boomer Music…Again. Wednesday night the Eagles played the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter in Portland, Oregon.

THE TEAM NEEDS YOU, YOU NEED THE TEAM

August 27, 2014 by

A Follow Up On The Lake O Football Suspensions. The knock on baby boomer parents is we coddled our kids. We sent them to ‘time out’ instead of whipping a belt through our belt loops and giving a kid five lashes. Even if we whipped our kids, it wouldn’t have been enough. After the beat […]

MRS. DOUBTFIRE IN THE HOUSE

August 12, 2014 by

Robin Williams Lives In Every Boomer, so does Mrs. Doubtfire. I met my mother in law before Mrs. Doubtfire came out in 1993, but the shock of them being the same person never left.

July 17, 2014 by

The Longer You Let Yourself Go, The Longer The Trail Back. One doctor joke goes like this: “It hurts when I raise my arm.” Doc says, “Don’t raise your arm.” It’s as funny the first time as it is the last, if you don’t have arm pain. Most of us have pain from one thing […]

THE PEACOCK KILLERS OF PALOS VERDES

July 16, 2014 by

Whether up-sizing, down-sizing, or just changing your view, moving to a new place means making adjustments. If the dream is living off-the-grid in a self-sustaining manner, do you turn your version of rural heaven into a suburban subdivision? Bringing old habits to a new environment isn’t a recipe for change. Do that and you might […]
