March 19, 2014 by

Keep this in mind: You won’t starve. It might sound like cutting weight for wrestling season, but a monitored juice fast at the Portland Wellness Center is different. Think of it as a time to relax.

AUTHORITY: WHAT BOOMERS DID, WHAT THEY SHOULD’VE DONE, pt.1

March 7, 2014 by

Since the past refuses to die and stay dead, there’s always a chance to improve the story, his story and hers. Call it revision, call it “I can’t remember,” or just make stuff up. It all washes out at the end of the day. Some parts you’ll agree with, some you won’t, and some might […]

INTERPRETING AARP’S TOP TEN BABY BOOMER ALBUMS

February 26, 2014 by

A Top Ten list never includes everyone’s picks, but who doesn’t trust AARP? They’ve got their finger on the public pulse, especially the public with silver threads running through their hair paint like mine. It’s a nice list with a few omissions which I’ll add toward the end of this Portland baby boomer take. For younger readers I’ll list […]

NOTES FROM A FORMER ALL-IN SPORTS FAN

February 26, 2014 by

Check with older people, in this case the 40+ sports fans, and you won’t feel the lunacy of the field storming younger fans. Why? Because they’ve grown up? They don’t have time? They’re burned out? Or is it something else? If you have a favorite team, you’re a fan for life. That’s the deal. Maybe it’s […]

February 5, 2014 by

(Originally posted on boomeon.com) As baby boomers, we are what’s in between, with kids on one side, parents on the other.

Baby Boomers Fade To Invisible

January 28, 2014 by

How many times do you hear it among those of a certain age, like your age: “No one notices me anymore.” Men or women, they say it like it’s the biggest loss of their life. What do they want, their own personal paparazzi? No one worships at the boomer alter. They never did unless they […]

Late Blooming Baby Boomers

January 21, 2014 by

Too Late To Be A Child Prodigy? Idiot Savant Carries No Age Barrier. Just Be Ready For Changes. Who doesn’t like a good label. They make things so understandable. Steve Jobs was a ‘genius.’ What else do you call the man who reinvented computers, phones, and music delivery? What did his employees call him when […]

Older Boomer Means Old. Then What?

January 20, 2014 by

And None Of The Rest Of You Are Off The Hook Either. Maybe it’s just me, but the age limit for elder complaints seems to be dropping fast. Just yesterday no one I knew talked about the health problems. Medical procedures? What’s that? Try talking about a trip to the dentist. Wait, don’t. What is […]
