PUBLIC HEALTH, YOUR HEALTH, MY HEALTH, ALL AT ONCE

February 2, 2021 by

Public health was the topic of a well crafted ad calling for it to be the ‘biggest priority in the future.’ When a slick marketing man hypes his product so well, I’m interested. When health is mentioned, public health, I’m more interested. The insurance ad linked the virus vaccine today to the extended history and […]

SPORTS EDUCATION STARTS WITH KNOWING YOUR TEAM

January 26, 2021 by

Sports education with Raider Coach Tom Fores started in middle school at a parent teacher conference. I was the parent, the teacher was Miss Flores, my kid’s teacher. She was whip smart and knew how to reach her students in ways other teachers couldn’t. As a science teacher, she had an advantage. The night of […]

MASK WEARING IF YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING

December 23, 2020 by

Mask wearing is not pretty. It’s not glamorous or fashionable, and it can take elevated self-esteem down a notch. But it’s not supposed to be. Besides, aren’t you fabulous no matter what? Of course you are, so how do those who can’t understand normal thinking fit in with masks?

NO MAM: NO MARCH AGAINST MASKS

December 20, 2020 by

‘No Mam’ was my first thought watching people march against masks. Young and old alike ignored mask science on their journey to stupid. No mask for them is the conclusion of their mask debate. I’m a fan of exercise, walking it out, lifting weights, but an anti-science march? No Mam. I asked WebMD for clarification.

YOU MIGHT BE PANDEMIC STUPID IF . . .

December 4, 2020 by

Pandemic stupid is more than the local mask denying moron in a red hat screaming into a camera about their rights and freedom. You might be pandemic stupid for not following the most basic, the most simple, the easiest way in making a difference. But it’s only been nearly a year of hearing what those […]

GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP, THE MISSING INGREDIENT

November 23, 2020 by

Good sportsmanship crosses all boundaries in private and public life. It’s the public part we get judged on. Are we gracious in victory. Humble, even? Can we take defeat in stride and learn from the loss? Let’s say we’re that good for the sake of argument, instead of the small, bitter, people we secretly are. […]

COVID TESTING REALITY FROM THE DRIVER’S SEAT

November 12, 2020 by

Covid testing, for the uninitiated, the disbelieving, for the safety of others, is more real when you drive someone to their scheduled testing. Have you done that as a family or civic task? Or is the better question, “Do you think covid testing is for the virus, or “SOMETHING ELSE?” For my purposes, hopefully your […]

INFORMATION DUPE: WHAT TO DO WITH WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW

November 8, 2020 by

An Information Dupe always has the latest news first. Right or wrong, being first is what matters. When they’re right, they are a genius. Just ask them. But when they are wrong? Even if there’s no way it could be true, try and convince anyone they’re wrong about anything. If you’ve talked to an information […]

EDUCATIONAL BREAKDOWN: “IF IT’S NOT BROKEN . . .”

November 5, 2020 by

I found this educational breakdown map on twitter. Is it accurate, or close enough? Social media accuracy is close enough without knowing when this was made and the data at the time. I’m not posting this to cheer the smart states or rag on the others, but to show how an educational breakdown of the […]

INFORMATIONAL BLOG REVIEW, PANDEMIC VERSION

October 22, 2020 by

An informational blog does one thing best: it informs. But you know that. From a professional blogging point of view, the information on a blog needs to stay on topic. This blog, boomerpdx, sounds like a Baby Boomer blog, and it is. But like the now second biggest demographic in America, thanks millennials, the sky […]
