Victim Marketing To Baby Boomers

January 3, 2014 by

Getting old is not a crime. No one goes to court on their sixtieth birthday for sentencing. If they did, and I was the judge, I’d sentence all 79 million boomers to join and read boomerpdx the rest of their lives. Of course there’d be an appeals process and because I’m lenient I’d reduce some […]

Baby Boomers, Gyms, And Church: Beware Of Hazards

December 30, 2013 by

Raise your hand it you attend church services on Christmas and Easter. Keep it up if you’ve ever been described as a Chreaster Christian.

When Baby Boomers Need Advice They Ask Boomers. How About You

December 18, 2013 by

Every month a group meets to discuss their entrepreneurial progress. Why? Because there’s something magical about belonging to a group of motivated people breaking new ground. Most are baby boomers, or have the spirit. They’ve broken new ground, old ground, and everything else most of their lives. If they’re not all boomers, then they’ve earned […]

Baby Boomer Women To The Rescue

December 14, 2013 by

It sounds like modern medicine is taking a step backward with food and activity. No one suggests blood sucking leaches for health, or eliminating CAT scans or MRI.

Thomas Vaughan met everyone before they got with the Oregon Historical Society program. He made it personal. How […]

#1 With A Bullet? Portland And Boomerpdx

December 5, 2013 by

Portland Baby Boomers need to pay attention to Money Journal at moneyjournal.com. They just named Portland the top of their top ten most liked U.S. cities. While that’s not news to the region, it’s still good to show the rest of the country how it’s done. The only drawback is Money Journal called it Portlandia. […]
