OK BOOMER? MILLIE, PLEASE, HOLD BACK GEN Z

Younger generations have a thing about baby boomers? “Ok, boomer,” is their go-to slam? Fine with me. I’m a boomer and I’ve been complaining about boomers, a particular group of them, and now we’re all bunched together. My biggest complaint has been with guys like childless Mike Rowe dragging millennials through his dirty work. Is […]

BOOMERPDX HALLOWEEN PARTY GUIDE

A Halloween party is more than chugging a twelve pack and handing out candy. First it’s too much sugar; you know you’ll dip into the candy bowl a few times. If you wear a costume this will happen: Scare little kids so much their parents talk about reporting you; older kids will be frightened into […]

BOOMER LOCKDOWN: TALKING ‘BOUT MY GENERATION

The saying of ‘you get a better look at America from the outside’ has never been more true for the coming boomer lockdown. I’m on the outside, the France side, and I finally found the right look I’ve been searching for. What I see is the Eiffel Tower showing it’s dazzle, like the biggest continual […]

FOREVER YOUNG LASTS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

A song like Forever Young is a nice thing until something sears it right into your brain instead of bouncing off your ear, turning the dial, and moving on. Forever Young is such a song for millions. It’s the song for every parent who has seen their kid move from stage to stage, from rolling […]

For online fans of social media there’s a drumbeat across many platforms saying the same thing: Baby boomers share more fake news than any other demographic. The usual cutoff age is sixty five, so I’ve got another year before I hit that wall. If you are a boomer I’ve got a question: Do […]

KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU, (UH HUH)

Knowing Me As a young child in an unsupervised moment one of my playmates decided to ride his trike. I hopped on the back axle where there was room to stand and gave him a big push. Except he pulled back on the handle bars just as I pushed and popped a wheelie […]

Carrying America’s Dirty Laundry, Vote Nov. 6, 2018

Baby Boomers and Millennials get accused of so many things. Lazy parents produced entitled kids? You’ve heard that one? Millennials are too self absorbed to vote on Nov. 6, 2018? That’s been going around, too. The good news is not all Boomers are lousy parents and not all Millennials are spoiled little shits. […]

Dylan Song For 2018 Mid-Term Elections

Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don’t stand in the doorway Don’t block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There’s a battle outside And it is ragin’. It’ll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin’.

Life Long Learners Get Life Lesson Whether They Learn Or Not

Life Lessons start early for writers, then they spend years figuring it out enough to make a joke, a poem, a short story, novella, novel. Maybe more, like a groundbreaking memoir. If it’s worth learning, it’s worth writing about to drill it in. Like most children of my generation, baby boomers, I had it made […]
