THE PEACOCK KILLERS OF PALOS VERDES

July 16, 2014 by

Whether up-sizing, down-sizing, or just changing your view, moving to a new place means making adjustments. If the dream is living off-the-grid in a self-sustaining manner, do you turn your version of rural heaven into a suburban subdivision? Bringing old habits to a new environment isn’t a recipe for change. Do that and you might […]

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 […]

OREGON’S GREATEST ATHLETE (ever)

July 7, 2014 by

Do you open the Oregonian’s sports page and find soccer? If it’s not the World Cup, it’s the Timber or Thorns’ players flinging around. Isn’t it still baseball season? We expect to see diving catches in the out field, runners breaking up double plays, the stretch on first, not wild soccer players kneeing the vertebrae […]

BOOMERS IN A DOWNSIZING STATE OF MIND

July 5, 2014 by

Or Just Moving For A Better Portland View? From oregonlive.com: “The analysis of Census data showed more baby boomers than ever lived in single-family detached homes in 2012. The pattern holds true even for the eldest of the age group, born between 1946 and 1955. That an indication that the convention wisdom may be wrong, […]

STOP SMOKING, BUT HOW?

July 2, 2014 by

If nothing else, Baby Boomers seek one-of-a-kind, original, experiences. No off the shelf gear for this picky group. No out-of-the-box baloney for them. They want something delivered in goods and services that means more to them than anyone else. Boomers invented the personal computer, and we customize them to fit out unique view. Boomers didn’t […]

FACEBOOK: MARK ZUCKERBERG OR JOSEPH GOEBBELS

June 30, 2014 by

 Facebook Is Not The New Fuhrer     After the NY Times and Wall Street Journal reported Facebook manipulated users’ emotions, those emotions hit the fan.   Like a good salesman, Facebook asks a few questions then sits back and listens.   What do we do? We let it all out. Where do we live? […]

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 […]

June 26, 2014 by

Is There A Difference? What drives people to write yelp reviews? Great service and food brings out the positive. Anything less? Forget about it. If you’re not spending money on being pampered, do you need to  complain you’re not being pampered? Find a hair in your food while you’re out and jump on yelp with, […]

WELCOME TO THE TABLE. MILLENNIALS GET A BREAK

June 23, 2014 by

They Probably Won’t Notice. Like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, baby boomers rate millennials. Some are too entitled, some are too worried they might not get ‘theirs’, and some are just right. Even the NY Times comes out with an apology to millennials. Why? Because America is too caught up tending to the passing generations […]
