Multi-Gen Boomer Home?

June 28, 2013 by

The Main Fear Of Living Alone A benefit of living with different age groups is the point of view. Both ends squeeze the middle, which is fine if you’re not in the middle. For better and worse, baby boomers sit right in the middle. They are the meat in the generational sammy. The youths grow to […]

Museum Boomer, pt 2

June 24, 2013 by

Is There Ever Enough Stuff To Go Find? Stuff with unexpected strings came from a deceased man’s house. A museum curator reviewed an inventory of stuff in the house and made a small list. The recent death gave the job a sense of urgency to get in and get out, but also called for more […]

Live Well On Less?

June 22, 2013 by

Boomers, Go Gingham Style The beauty of the blogosphere is finding good ideas and making them better. Sometimes an idea is too good. Go Gingham is one of them. If you’ve ever hyperventilated in Nordstroms and wondered why, or felt disturbed after you noticed everything in big-box stores come from China, you need a new style.

Joey Part Two

June 13, 2013 by

How Harrington Keeps Winning First, he’s smart. Joey Harrington’s NFL education included classes in Detroit, Miami, Atlanta, and New Orleans.

June 12, 2013 by

The Difference Is The Steel A big measure of safety in a city comes in a crime report. Or a weather channel. Or a geological survey. NW Boomer looks at the built environment.

or, You Haven’t Seen The Sights In A While? Maybe it’s a boomer thing, or a Portland baby boomer thing, but middle aged men with abs seems a little too much. True story: I’m sitting in the sauna and a guy walks in behind his chiseled abs. He’s no boomer, so his shorts droop. With […]

Deer House

May 14, 2013 by

What To Expect Between The Dream And The House  The next time a stranger starts talking about their baby boomer house, be kind. They’ve most likely been down that road before. No matter what kind of mansion, dump, or hovel they call home, you’ll never hear the whole story.
