Richard Sherman, The New Muhammad Ali?

January 20, 2014 by

He’s Got A Good Start. Baby boomers have known The Greatest since the early sixties. Cassius Clay told us it was him. Even when he changed his name to Muhammad Ali, he was still the greatest. Richard Sherman channelled some Ali in his famous interview with espn talker Skip Bayless. While Bayless is no Howard […]

Get Your Medical History In Another Language

January 9, 2014 by

In The Hospital And You Don’t Speak The Language. Now What? Do you like new places, the sort where you step off a plane and think, “It looks normal enough,” but you know it’s not? You know because you showed up after language immersion and Rosetta Stone, and you still don’t understand what anyone says. […]

Maybe it’s a regular thing and you’ve taken over, so this time you ask the other person what they’d like to do. You figure it’s only one night. What […]

Baby Boomer Blogs On The Podium

December 31, 2013 by

You’ve seen Top 20 lists. Things get tighter with a Top 10. We’re conditioned by the Olympics to only care about the Top 3, the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medalists. Once you get this far, it’s an easy bump to say #1, The First Place Finisher, is all that matters. Even if it’s a 1/100th of […]

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 […]

Baby Boomer Women To The Rescue

December 14, 2013 by

It sounds like modern medicine is taking a step backward with food and activity. No one suggests blood sucking leaches for health, or eliminating CAT scans or MRI. It’s more about what you do with what you find. Instead of tossing a chemistry lab for new remedies, a couple of doctors with research help are […]

James Swanson spoke to a full house, breaking down the Kennedy assassination moment by moment from his book ‘END OF DAYS, The Assassination of John F. Kennedy.’ Swanson followed the characters and events from fifty […]

Momma’s Last Birthday Present

November 26, 2013 by

Have you been a baby boomer caregiver? It’s part of the sandwich generation. I don’t mean a visitor who holds hands and reads, though that’s as important as anything. Human contact with the aged, the infirm, and dying isn’t measured by machines but no one doubts the power. I mean 24/7 family caregiving where you […]

Boomers, More Than An Era

November 19, 2013 by

The Name, The People. Nicknames like Boomer describe people, places, and things, ^. The people don’t name themselves, though. Retired Baby Boomer quarterback Boomer Esiason was either named for his cannon arm, or for kicking real hard in his mother’s womb. That’s a picture no mom wants to see on the ultra-sound, a baby with a power […]
