SILENT MILLENNIALS WANT ANSWERS

June 24, 2014 by

Go Ahead And Text Them. Maybe you’ve noticed? Baby boomer children have an attitude. The print media loves it. Old writers have a new whipping post, young writers get to take offense until they get old enough to find a younger whipping post of their own. Or not. Until then, they want answers to the […]

A GHOST ON THE TRAIL

March 14, 2014 by

The Last Reunion. Baby boomers understand how fast time passes. One moment they’re eating breakfast before school and mom reminds them to wear a coat. The next moment they’re in their dorm room reading James Joyce. A blink later and they’re on a date with their future mate. The clock hands don’t spin like a […]

ONE BABY BOOMER’S MOUNT RUSHMORE

WHEN TIME IS RIGHT, WHEN TIME IS WRONG

February 12, 2014 by

Time Magazine is not always on your side. In an era of tablets and smart phones, who reads Time? Who subscribes? From the looks of most doctors’ offices, medical people like Time. Why? Think of the patients. The older they are, the more likely they grew up with Time. They still read words on paper […]

THE USEFUL PORTLAND BOOMER BLOGGER

February 4, 2014 by

The Common Question. What is it you ask when you meet someone new? Networking people want to know, “What do you do?” So do most others, but they won’t admit it. They don’t want to seem pushy. Portland business is polite business. When you meet others in a regularly planned gathering it’s not a question of what […]

Boomers, More Than An Era

November 19, 2013 by

The Name, The People. Nicknames like Boomer describe people, places, and things, ^. The people don’t name themselves, though. Retired Baby Boomer quarterback Boomer Esiason was either named for his cannon arm, or for kicking real hard in his mother’s womb. That’s a picture no mom wants to see on the ultra-sound, a baby with a power […]

Baby Boomer And The Oregon Ducks

August 29, 2013 by

What defines big time? The wise answer, the baby boomer blogger answer, is ‘The big time is right where you are.’ But that doesn’t always work out. People who hate where they are, either geographically or emotionally, want a better answer. For them, the big time is out there waiting just around the corner, and […]
