OREGON’S HOCKEY HISTORY

February 15, 2014 by

When you play the game, play to win. Every business, institution, and individual have one thing in common: If you’ve heard of them, they’re doing something right. They matter. To what degree they matter is the next question, which often depends on branding. Consider sports branding as a current model for success. Not everyone understands, or enjoys, a rabid […]

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.

THE USEFUL PORTLAND BOOMER BLOGGER

February 4, 2014 by

The Common Question. What is it you ask when you meet someone new? Networking people want to know, “What do you do?” So do most others, but they won’t admit it. They don’t want to seem pushy. Portland business is polite business. When you meet others in a regularly planned gathering it’s not a question of what […]

NEW YEARS EVE vs SUPER BOWL

February 3, 2014 by

Every new year we’re losing weight and eating right? Wrong. With the Super Bowl hovering in the near future, every New Year’s resolution goes in the bucket. “I will give myself more will power in the new year.” Not on Super Bowl Sunday. And neither is anyone else. Will power isn’t what you pick up […]
