MILLENNIAL CELEBRITIES EXPLAIN AGING. WHO’S LISTENING?

April 28, 2014 by

The Dude Abides, Man. Boomers getting older. It’s a subject with a bright spotlight. From kids born between 1946 – 1964, from youthful fifty years olds to an ancient sixty eight, no generation said it louder, “We’re young and pretty, and you’re not.” Since their early go-to-hell days, baby boomers discovered they’re not any more […]

BEAUTIFUL BOOMERS AND YOU TOO

April 25, 2014 by

As much as forever young Boomers hate to admit it, going around the block a few times is a plus. The first time around was enough to make you say, “Wow.” Everyone says wow. The second time might not be so awe inspiring, but still a good lap. The third time around the block feels like […]

HOW TO WEAR AN ICON, CARRY AN ICON, AND BE AN ICON

April 11, 2014 by

Most compliments on a clothing article start with, “Is that new?” On the scale of admiration it’s nice knowing someone notices your good taste. What’s the next rung up the compliment ladder? “That’s looks good on you.” If you’re wearing it you know it looks good, but it’s still nice to be noticed. You don’t […]

THE COLOR OF OREGON BOOMERS

April 5, 2014 by

From Tie-Dye To Green. It’s hard to avoid the noise about legal weed. Colorado, Washington, and whatever’s happening in California, nearly surrounds Oregon in hemp. Once Idaho jumps in, it’s all over. If it’s good enough for apple knockers, spud boys, and the Golden State, why not Oregon? That’s the question that’ll be answered behind […]

SHOOTING GUNS IN THE BOOMER ARMY OF 1974

April 4, 2014 by

The all volunteer Army was still new in the mid-70’s. No one opened a draft notice anymore, no life changing letters came in the mail. At least not that letter. In those days the Army was run by baby boomers straight out of Vietnam. Every Drill Sergeant had a story to make your toes curl and […]

Do Not Feed Them Birthday Cake. If you want them up and around, no cake. They’re smart, in debt, and online. They know more than you. Sure, boomers were the joy of their parent’s lives, at least the first four kids. Now boomers share the joy. And it is a joy. Our kids, the millennials, […]

MILLENNIALS FIGHT A STEREOTYPE

March 28, 2014 by

Children Of Boomers Deserve Better (which might be the problem.) Baby boomers, Gen-Xers, and Millennials heard the same gripe from their elders. “I don’t know what’s wrong with this younger generation.” “If this is the best this country has to offer, we’re going to hell in a hand basket.” “Can anyone get through to these […]
