How To Go Home Again Boomer Style

July 19, 2013 by David Gillaspie

NW Boomer, the baby boomer guide, disagrees with Thomas Wolfe. He said, “You can’t go home again,” then wrote a huge book about it. Maybe that works if you come from the east, but not in Oregon. You can’t go home if home means the same thing you left for. Dark bars and empty streets are […]

BOOMER BBQ SALMON

July 16, 2013 by David Gillaspie

A NW Delight This baby boomer blogger likes to eat in season. Is it salmon season? It is on the Copper River. Boomer couples who cook together eat better. And it’s like therapy. Why go to a restaurant when you cook better than the chef? Start with a good chunk of fish.

NW Boomer And Fortune

July 15, 2013 by David Gillaspie

As In Tyrell Fortune From Oregon. Misinformed sports fans complain about July. No NBA, just the draft and Summer League. No NFL, just bad news and more bad news about players and guns. Major League Baseball might work since it’s the All-Star Game, but not with a list of players violating drug policy waiting for […]

Boomer History 101

July 14, 2013 by David Gillaspie

If Your Boomer Man Seems Confused, Here’s Why: It starts with ‘Old School’ and how do you define it. Yes, it’s the title of a Will Farrell movie, but move along. Old School in 2013 could mean the 1980′s, bumped to the 1990′s for twenty-somethings. It works for shorter attention spans, but not longer. Wiki […]

BOOMER HELICOPTER

July 8, 2013 by David Gillaspie

What are the best words when you show up at a family emergency? “Not many families respond like this.” Those are the doctor’s words when Boomer showed up. His dad was headed to memory care. His mom was headed to a atrial fibrillation pace-maker. All Boomer did was cook the right food to stabilize his […]

Use The Portland Blues

July 8, 2013 by David Gillaspie

Portland baby boomers have more choices for a music festival. Any summer weekend you can go downtown for a free concert at Saturday Market. One weekend a year you can go to the big show by the river. If it’s good enough for Robert Plant, why not you. All that’s left is choosing your company.
