FIVE VIEWS OF MODERN SAFARI INTERIOR DESIGN

February 3, 2014 by

Exotic Animal Fans Find A Way. None Were Injured Here. Animal skins tell two stories. If they are real, and recent, you’ve got a hunter in the house. If they are synthetic but accurate, then you’ve got a dreamer of the hunt in the house. Either way, the patterns and images transport us to another […]

Baby Boomers Fade To Invisible

January 28, 2014 by

How many times do you hear it among those of a certain age, like your age: “No one notices me anymore.” Men or women, they say it like it’s the biggest loss of their life. What do they want, their own personal paparazzi? No one worships at the boomer alter. They never did unless they […]

Which Actor / Director / Producer Works Best For The Next Epic WWII Script? Here on the outskirts of civilization the choice of who would do Flying Home justice grows more complicated. Both Affleck and Clooney won Oscars for producing Argo. Both know Hollywood inside out. George seems to like people for who they are, not what they […]

Late Blooming Baby Boomers

January 21, 2014 by

Too Late To Be A Child Prodigy? Idiot Savant Carries No Age Barrier. Just Be Ready For Changes. Who doesn’t like a good label. They make things so understandable. Steve Jobs was a ‘genius.’ What else do you call the man who reinvented computers, phones, and music delivery? What did his employees call him when […]

Older Boomer Means Old. Then What?

January 20, 2014 by

And None Of The Rest Of You Are Off The Hook Either. Maybe it’s just me, but the age limit for elder complaints seems to be dropping fast. Just yesterday no one I knew talked about the health problems. Medical procedures? What’s that? Try talking about a trip to the dentist. Wait, don’t. What is […]

When The Lights Go Down In The City

January 17, 2014 by

The Neon Gets Better. On a cold, dark, night, a city asks for caution. Even the familiar takes on an extra foreboding. With others, or walking alone, the sound of footsteps behind you quickens your pace. Empty shadows carry secrets you don’t want to know. Some streets are just not very inviting. Even in the […]

Victim Marketing To Baby Boomers

January 3, 2014 by

Getting old is not a crime. No one goes to court on their sixtieth birthday for sentencing. If they did, and I was the judge, I’d sentence all 79 million boomers to join and read boomerpdx the rest of their lives. Of course there’d be an appeals process and because I’m lenient I’d reduce some […]

Baby Boomer Blogs On The Podium

December 31, 2013 by

You’ve seen Top 20 lists. Things get tighter with a Top 10. We’re conditioned by the Olympics to only care about the Top 3, the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medalists. Once you get this far, it’s an easy bump to say #1, The First Place Finisher, is all that matters. Even if it’s a 1/100th of […]
