YOUNG PEOPLE NEED BETTER NARRATIVE FROM ELDERS?

Young people want to hear from the olds? They need a better narrative from us? Us boomers? Sure they do, just like you did when you were young. We heard something, but what it was ain’t exactly clear.

VALIDATED LIFE? GET YOUR TICKET STAMPED EARLY

A validated life, like a validated parking garage ticket, means freedom. Except the validated parking ticket is more direct. Put the card in the slot, the bar rises, you drive away. What constitutes a validated life that raises the bar to escape the couch you’ve been parked on?

INFLUENCER BLOGGING: BOOMERPDX IN A VACUUM

Influencer blogging is determined by the ‘most read’ posts on any particular blog. Take BoomerPdx for example. The influence this blog carries includes naked men in a gym locker room. If this was a marketing influencer blog, I’d market this idea for gyms: shower up, get dressed, and leave. Stopping hanging around, showboat. Speaking of […]

ASSISTED BLOGGING: HOW TO ASK FOR HELP

If there were an assisted blogging home I’d move there tomorrow. Would it be any different than my current digs? More community? Big outreach?

BLOG PLATFORM, WRITER PLATFORM, LAUNCHES MEMOIR

We’ve got a joke, or more accurately my blog efforts get ridiculed, around the keyboard. Goes like this: “Why do you always write about yourself, or put yourself into every post?” I answer by spelling memoir, as in memoir blogger. “M-e … m-o-i-r. You can’t spell memoir without M and E.” Hilarity is supposed to […]

Men’s Poll Question: Your Wife’s Old ‘Friend’ Calls To Catch Up?

What’s the best approach is the question of the boomerpdx Men’s Poll Question? When one of your wife’s college day boyfriends calls to catch up after a couple of decades, and she tells you about it, then what? MAN #1 I wouldn’t think the question would ever come up since my wife […]
