THE COLOR OF OREGON BOOMERS

April 5, 2014 by

From Tie-Dye To Green. It’s hard to avoid the noise about legal weed. Colorado, Washington, and whatever’s happening in California, nearly surrounds Oregon in hemp. Once Idaho jumps in, it’s all over. If it’s good enough for apple knockers, spud boys, and the Golden State, why not Oregon? That’s the question that’ll be answered behind […]

INTERPRETING AARP’S TOP TEN BABY BOOMER ALBUMS

February 26, 2014 by

A Top Ten list never includes everyone’s picks, but who doesn’t trust AARP? They’ve got their finger on the public pulse, especially the public with silver threads running through their hair paint like mine. It’s a nice list with a few omissions which I’ll add toward the end of this Portland baby boomer take. For younger readers I’ll list […]

THE POLITE SIDE OF THE AISLE AT 180 DEGRESS

February 21, 2014 by

Do You Forgive Stupid Remarks In The Sauna? Of Course You Do. It’s So Damn Hot. Most people I know are Republicans. Not the neo-con version. Not the Tea Party version.

7 OF SPORTS MOST FRIGHTENING MOMENTS

February 12, 2014 by

Whether survival instinct, or good sense, we all shy away from something. Or pay the price. As a kid I stayed away from green peppers and canned Chinese food, but they kept showing up on my plate too often. That meant I was in for a marathon dinner at the family table. The deal was […]

YAHOO CALLS OUT BABY BOOMER DEBT

February 11, 2014 by

Why can’t they get the numbers right. UPDATE: Baby Boomer Birth Years run from 1946-1964. It’s more a reminder than an update, which is important when a Yahoo writer fits boomers age into the 65-74 age bracket. I’ll do the math. The youngest boomers turn fifty this year.
