LIFE MARATHON ENDS EARLY FOR QUITTERS

You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it, we’ve both felt it. We’re tired and don’t know why, because a life marathon doesn’t have a finish line. Eating right, getting rest, and still tired. Is it a baby boomer lament, or just the way it is? Maybe it’s time to sit it out for the […]

CANCER RESEARCH THROUGH BETTER BEER

“I’m buying you a beer,” G said. “That’s awfully nice, but you don’t have to,” I said. “It’s that one,” he said. “Which one?” I asked. “At the bottom of the Daily Specials.” I looked at the beer menu and didn’t see it. “Where are the specials?” […]

DEAR SASQUATCH! IT DISAPPEARED, BUT I GOT THE PICS

How can this be the end of Sasquatch!? It was my first time and now it’s over? My impression? I should have signed up earlier, but probably not last year. People camping near us gave a round up of great times. It was their fifth Sasquatch!

SOCIOPATH GENERATION GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION?

Does an entire sociopath generation give a hoot about being called a sociopath generation? Not when it comes from some GenX hack selling his new book. I mean that in the nicest way, but sometimes it gets tiring hearing outsiders rag the home team, even if it fits the program of […]

BOOMER GENERATION BREAKS AMERICA ON TIME COVER BUT NOT IN OUR HEARTS

At some point every generation can take credit for breaking America. The pinata of democracy is strong enough to take a few whacks. It helps that those swinging the stick are usually too old to do much damage, but watching them still hurts. Steven Brill explains it all for baby boomers, […]

Sasquatch Music Festival, Travel Therapy and Spa, Part 1

I collect things. Experiences, memories, a garage and crawl space full of important things saved for important people. It’s almost like I haven’t heard the big news that kids don’t want their parents’ important stuff yet. Even bigger news? I have heard some parents share new memories with their kids instead of […]

Men get most of the attention on military holidays even it’s not Memorial Day For Men, or Male Veteran’s Day. Those days include women, but mostly as a second thought, and it’s military women. Please remember the men and women who died in uniform. They’ve earned our respect from the Civil War to Afghanistan. Young […]

A BOOMER FAMILY TREE GROWS CLOSE TO TOWN

BUT NOT TOO CLOSE. When people say it’s best to live close to the land, what do they mean? Call it the rural side of life. The closer the better. It’s a perspective fewer and fewer are blessed with. Country living shows you the cycles of life, the cycle of many lives, like a live […]

BOOMER STREET

Baby boomer gets the message. We’ve heard the message all of our lives. It goes like this: Move over little dog, the big old dog is moving in. We were once the little dog and moved over for those who knew better. We did what we were told. The idea is […]

DIVORCE NEW NORMAL: “WAS IT ANOTHER GUY?”

Older people, a goal baby boomers are moving toward at hyper speed, have heard more joy and heartache than anyone else. We’ve got at least ten thousand hours in each encompassing most every possible outcome. At recent bar stop I learned a whole new take on divorce for modern times. It came […]
