Boomer Thought Leader? Expert? Authority? Please.

December 3, 2013 by David Gillaspie

Or Better BS In Pretty Paper? The cruel answers come from good questions, but you won’t hear them. Why? A modern Thought Leader worth their puffed up profile can’t be honest when asked, “What are you thinking?” What are they thinking? Take my class, buy my book, join my group, all for a low, low price […]

Baby Boomer Thanksgiving Restarts

November 28, 2013 by David Gillaspie

The idea of a restart sounds like doing something new. A closer look shows something different. You restart after you start, then stop, and start again. The start and stop part makes it sound like you quit. Don’t fall for that trap. Restarting doesn’t always follow quitting. No one likes a quitter, but who doesn’t […]

JFK: The Great Baby Boomer Daddy

November 20, 2013 by David Gillaspie

From ‘Leader of the Free World’ to ‘Most Powerful Man On Earth’, American Presidents carry many names. Kids raised in the 1950’s and early 60’s saw a remarkable change in the office and added a new title. Out went Eisenhower who looked like everyone’s grandfather. In came Kennedy who looked like their dads. The ‘Great […]

Boomers, More Than An Era

November 19, 2013 by David Gillaspie

The Name, The People. Nicknames like Boomer describe people, places, and things, ^. The people don’t name themselves, though. Retired Baby Boomer quarterback Boomer Esiason was either named for his cannon arm, or for kicking real hard in his mother’s womb. That’s a picture no mom wants to see on the ultra-sound, a baby with a power […]

How To Follow Your Dream (hint: don’t give up)

November 19, 2013 by David Gillaspie

After you hear the words, “Follow your dream,” or, “Follow your bliss,” what’s next? Most hear that and decide to put dreams and bliss on the shelf for another day. They’ll get on it when they have more time, follow their bliss after they learn to identify it. An old New York City joke has a tourist asking a […]

Baby Boomer Icons via Boomerpdx

November 18, 2013 by David Gillaspie

We all want the game-changer on our team, the person who hits the homer, wins the race, the one who makes a difference. Any list is full of the greats and near greats and it’s hard to go wrong. But what about those whose labors created the foundation of the future, whose work reveals the […]

Portland: A Really Big Shoe

November 15, 2013 by David Gillaspie

Why Shoe Companies Fit The Rose City. Recruiters and head hunters define success by finding the best people. If one region produces more candidates than another, that’s where the focus belongs. For example, college football teams scour the nation for their talent. California and Texas are two of the top states. Not all players stay […]

Hillsdale Paella vs La Pepica Paella

November 11, 2013 by David Gillaspie

Portland Oregon or Valencia Spain? With any luck Baby Boomers outgrow their bad food childhoods. Learning a new name for those food memories helps. One tortuous dish on the kid menu was called Spanish Rice. It was minute rice, tomato sauce, hamburger, and huge chunks of kryptonite green pepper. No one called it paella. No […]

Pat Conroy’s Nobel Prize

October 24, 2013 by David Gillaspie

It hasn’t happened yet, but BoomerPDX predicts it For Pat Conroy. The name Santini means one thing: Pat Conroy. And he might come to your town. Maybe not your own town, but lots of them on this version of Book Tour. If you’ve seen Mr. Conroy’s reading/signing, tell boomerpdx how it went. Most authors do […]
