This is the sort of anti boomertopia food boomers had to look forward to. If this is what got rolled out for special guests, what would you guess we ate the rest of the time?

TIGARD TRENDING TOWARD TRAIN TRACKS

Not Me: I want to live near the train, the light rail train. Isn’t Tigard trending toward the train. Me: The train goes through Beaverton to Hillsboro. Not Me: I’ve heard great things about Hillsboro.

GYM LIFER: IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE

Gym Lifer: You need to come with me and talk to someone. Me: Sure. Him: He’s having chest pains.

BOOMER PARENTS: HOW KIDS LEAVE A MARK

A peppy forty-nine year old single man was feeling down, feeling the holiday blues. I did what boomer parents do, I butted in; it’s an auto-response. He said he lived too far away from relatives to visit family and make it all better. I could feel his sadness, so I tried to talk him back […]

SHORTHAND FOR OK BOOMER? OK, B

Can we finally stop the OK Boomer fun? What’s it been, a week, a month, ten years, since it first came out? Let’s clean it up a little, maybe cut a syllable to a simple “Ok, B.” Baby boomers don’t want to tax the time others take to say something as clever as “Ok, boomer.” […]

HUSBAND CLASS 101: THREE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS

The most important words to remember after the “I do” that started Husband Class in the beginning? Not the Big Three: “I love you,” with all of the emotional freight.
