LIFE ENHANCING FOR CHANGE?

Life enhancing, like everything else, is different for everyone. For some it’s being an online social influencer, and it’s hard work for those guys. They get up at four in the morning, take a cold shower, and hang upside down on their custom inversion table. Why? More blood to the brain. But you knew that.

WELLNESS BLOG vs BLOG WELLNESS

A ‘wellness blog’ does what it says: promote health and wellness to an audience who ignores their own health and wellness. If you’re reading a blog for ‘wellness,’ if you’re doing your own ‘research,’ be sure better ideas come from credible sources. Taking medical advice, or simple health advice, from a moron is not the […]

LIVE BETTER? IT STARTS AT HOME

I want to live better. So do you. We just don’t say it out loud. Why? Because everyone wants to live better, they just don’t want to do the work. And if they do the work, they get it wrong. For example:

ROSE GARDEN FLOWER GIRL TEST

When the rose garden calls how do you answer? There’s only one answer when it includes a birthday for a flower girl. And with a flower girl. With four flower girls? It started two weeks ago.

SPECIAL BIRTHDAY? FIND SUSHI KUNI IN WEST LINN

Confident men gain more confidence at each milestone. Eventually some become over-confident men. It’s gets worse in middle-aged men and settles into the murky waters of wtf in senior men. That’s a picture of the seniors on their football team. Not the same senior as old guys. Building confident men starts early.

BIRTHDAY WEEK? DIFFERENT THAN DOG YEARS?

Does birthday week add extra years? A seven day celebration adds seven extra years? Maybe it should to discourage people from extending the party. At least until it’s your birthday. Or mine. Unfortunately, since we don’t get to erase a year for every ignored birthday, adding years never happens either. But what does happen is […]

A BIRTHDAY, VE DAY, FLYOVER PORTLAND DAY

My dad’s birthday is May 8, so it was a big day before I learned about Victory in Europe, or anything in Europe. It’s still a big day. Sharing his day with the end of the worst war in the history of mankind, where industrialized death became the accepted norm, can’t be easy. Just ask […]

MUMMY IN LAW AT 90 YEARS OLD

The best part of being a Mother in Law at 90? How many times have you heard tales of woe about a Mother In Law? How much woe can there be when she knows how to handle a tricky birthday drink? What could be wrong when you roll out with this model? She’s a traveler, […]
