GOING FULL BOOMER: WHAT IT IS

December 13, 2019 by

Full boomer is not a goal to achieve, it is a scene to avoid. How do I know this? Evidence, I have evidence, and it’s not something I read, or saw on TV.

NEW BLOG QUESTION ON TWITTER, SO I ANSWERED

December 8, 2019 by

During a cruise through the twitterverse, one interesting question appeared, the question of starting a new blog. The query seemed sincere, so I responded with this: use WordPress, genesis framework, and a mobile-ready Studiopress theme, along with yoast seo. Now you’re ready to launch. It turned into a useful conversation with a writer in what […]

SHORTHAND FOR OK BOOMER? OK, B

December 6, 2019 by

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

October 21, 2019 by

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. Those three words promise the universe; the other three fill in the blanks. Three words: “Yes, I will.” If it sounds like work, you’re right, […]

BOOMER BUBBLE: LIVING IN A PORCUPINE SUIT

October 8, 2019 by

Once you make it to the ‘home’ things change; you’re out of the boomer bubble and into the back stretch of life. Everyone can justify being nice since you’re on the clock. Or when you move to the ‘over 55’ community? Same deal, things change, but you’re still not out of the boomer bubble. No […]

CALIFORNIA JAM FROM 18 TO 62

August 25, 2019 by

    What was the hot ticket in 1974? California Jam. Just ask anyone who says they were there.   It was the West Coast Woodstock without the brown acid, Altamont without the murder. Just a nice gathering after all the dust settled and music took a turn.   My wife found her ticket to […]

DO BABY BOOMERS ASK FOR TOO MUCH

August 6, 2019 by

Depending on who you ask, baby boomers are either a blessing or a curse. Once we were the bundle of joy for parents coming back from The Big One, WWII. Their babies were the complete opposite of what had happened the past five years in Europe and the Pacific where injury and death were common. […]

GOLDEN RULE REVIEW: ONE MORE TIME

July 22, 2019 by

Some joker said the golden rule was this: Whoever has the gold makes the rules. I won’t argue that, but it’s not the Golden Rule this baby boomer grew up with, and it’s not the golden rule of anyone who went to enough Sunday School to earn a new bible for good attendance. It’s red […]

Millennial History Break: WWII-era

August 22, 2018 by

    It’s been a long time since history delivered WWII. A long time to learn what happened, too.   But not all are interested in the lessons of WWII, particularly the death camps where those deemed undesirable by the German authorities were warehoused until further notice.   Further notice was death for six million […]

Hitchhiking Idaho With Stewart Abbe

August 15, 2018 by

    Forty five years is a long time. Just ask forty five year old men or women who are just getting used to what ‘middle aged’ means.   Right around forty five people either start feeling old, or fighting old. Both are a path to futility and failure, but that’s what feelings and fighting […]
