BE YOURSELF SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS TAKEN

May 18, 2021 by

If we’ve learned one thing in baby boomer life it’s Be Yourself. Mr. Spielberg may have a different take, but he’s still Steven Spielberg. Not to say he’s got a mental health problem like multiple personalities, but who turns into a different person? Every year? Maybe it works best in his world, where personal identity […]

OLD AGE SCREAMS, “GIVE ME MY REVERENCE”

April 28, 2021 by

Old age in many cultures bring celebrations and reverence. Why? If you rack up enough years and you’re the last one standing, you are an automatic authority on the era you lived through. Pretty easy stuff so far. Too easy? Unless you get old in America. Then it’s a different story. There’s a deflection point […]

MUSEUM QUALITY IS WHAT BOOMERS CALL THEIR ACCUMULATION

April 5, 2021 by

Museum quality is a collector’s goal. Leave the bad, take the good. Then what? If possession is nine tenths of the law, what’s the last tenth? After you’ve got what you’ve been looking for, put it in a box, on a shelf, in a case. The idea is to enjoy the company of an artifact, […]

BOOMERS WANT LIST INCLUDES WHAT THEY DIDN’T GET

April 3, 2021 by

Boomers want more, more, more? That’s the whine that comes from the echo chamber of other generations, like baby boomers are a cut and run company of ruin and destruction. Boomers I know want that elusive dish in life, harmony with a side of peace, love, and understanding. Boomer wannabes want the same thing, but […]

TEETH MATTER MORE TO BOOMERS. HERE’S WHY

February 26, 2021 by

Teeth matter because oral health is so important. Google ‘oral health heart risk’ if you want more proof than some blogger spewing online. Better yet, and what sets me apart from your average dipstick, I’ll do it for you. Here to help:

PICTURES MATTER, SOME MORE THAN OTHERS

February 25, 2021 by

Pictures matter most when the weeding out process starts. Where to start? If pictures matter more to you, then you start; if they don’t mean that much, let someone else do it, but give precise instructions. You want results, right? Baby Boomer parents aren’t the first to take endless pictures of the same thing, from […]

LIVE LONGER 2021? WHAT’S THE PLAN AFTER THAT

January 1, 2021 by

‘Live longer’ has been the mantra of mankind. Just a little longer, a little more, a little help to get there. Make the promise to do better if you’re given the grace of a longer life than, say, eighteen? You don’t have to believe it, but decisions made early have a way of reminding us […]

COVID19 DEATHS NOT THE NORM TO ENDURE

December 10, 2020 by

Covid19 deaths will never be normal for anyone who has been with loved ones in their final moments. My mother-in-law had a massive stroke the doctors called an unsurvivable brain bleed. It even sounds bad. For two days she responded to conversation with closed eyes and a hand squeeze for yes or no. Her last […]

PROBLEM SOLVERS: WHAT HAPPENS WITHOUT PROBLEMS?

December 5, 2020 by

Problem solvers without a problem eventually become a problem. If they could keep it to themselves, they wouldn’t be a problem, but when does that happen? For example, the self-described ‘people person’ who turns into a nasty troll when people disagree with them. We’ve all got ninety-nine problems lined up in prioritized, triaged, next-one-up order, […]

BOOMER VISION IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR CLEARS THE FIELD

December 2, 2020 by

Boomer vision is what we call it when things go right. “Yep, I saw that coming from the start.” But let’s call it what it is instead: experience. Even if we’re surprised by certain outcomes, we still call it boomer vision.
