BABY BOOMER LIFE COACH: CHIP KELLY

August 18, 2014 by

Eat Right And Get Enough Sleep? Kelly Would Have Said The Same To Rocky. Does it get any easier than this? Don’t load up your plate three times at dinner and drop into a food coma in front of the television. You don’t need a coach to tell you that. Or do you? Be a […]

DEAR BOOMER, IT’S OKAY TO CHANGE TEAMS FOR CHIP KELLY

August 15, 2014 by

From Cowboys To Eagles It’s Okay To Change Football Teams. Other Teams Are Up To You. Off-season training works for players and fans. As a fourteen year old I met a few Dallas Cowboys with my brothers, my Dad, and my Granddad. We’ve all been Cowboy fans ever since, from the late Sixties until now. […]

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. Robin Williams could have studied his part with her help. She’s from England, has a domestic science degree, and taught what […]

FURY: BRAD PITT GOES TO WAR…AGAIN

August 2, 2014 by

Taking A Shot At The Great American War Movie. World War II is the biggest war canvas for the biggest stories. It’s that big. War stories from every other conflict miss the moral certainty, the celebration, of wiping evil off the earth. There’s nothing like a Nazi, or an Imperial Japanese soldier, biting the dirt […]

JULY, THE MAJOR MONTH FOR KEVIN LOVE

July 23, 2014 by

Major fans of major league sports hate July in Oregon. It means waiting for NFL training camps, waiting for college football to explode. Again. If you’re not waiting, you probably checked on the NBA Summer League. The players make you believe greatness is in them until you notice third year players on the Blazer roster. […]

HAES AND THE NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR

July 14, 2014 by

What is HAES? So glad you asked. Health at Every Size might sound like a New Age phenomena, but it’s not. It started in the baby boomer days of the 1960’s. If you missed it between Save The Trees and Save The Earth, others didn’t. People have always come in all sizes, however shaming is […]

EATING PORTLAND: FROM PARKING LOT TO POSH

July 9, 2014 by

The question: Which is more appealing, a food cart meal on the go, an extravagant destination dining experience, or something in between. Portland has it all. I asked several people who know enough about food to cook something worth eating. The answers are very Portland. They walk by fast food places and keep moving. Why […]

JERSEY BOYS HIT THE HIGHS WITH INSPECTOR CALLAHAN

June 28, 2014 by

I didn’t see the play. The movie is my only reference, that and a lifetime of Frankie. Baby boomers take to Frankie Valli like hippies to the Dead, but it’s a closeted subject. It’s still to hard to decide if Frankie is cool, or not. If the high voice bothers you, don’t tell Neil Young […]

THE PEOPLE BEHIND BOOKS

June 27, 2014 by

For Example: I met the author during years of employment with the Oregon HIstorical Society. Some people called him TV. He was the regional history boss with enough pull to land international exhibits in Portland. While TV was the lead dog, he had a capable team pulling behind him. One of them was Bob Stark, […]

THE BOOMERS’ BIGGEST BURDEN

June 16, 2014 by

(one version of this post appears on oregonlive.com.) News about one generation or another usually explains what is wrong. Bad news has a reputation. Good news? Who wants to hear about someone doing better than you? Seniors being preyed on by unscrupulous contractors or relatives is always news. So are young people trying to create […]
