Breaking Down The Numbers (approximate values) What to do about rising co-pays, premiums, and fees from the insurance and medical billing? First, make an appointment with a Naturopathic Doctor for a baseline health analysis. Find an ND you like. Here’s mine. Then find a gym.

JFK: The Great Baby Boomer Daddy

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

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)

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.

The Portland Business Journal Makes The Call. Local business leaders know they’ve done something right when the Business Journal singles them out in their yearly round up. The work they do is often the face Oregon shows the rest of the world. Instead of media interpretations on television, the Business Journal highlights show a different reality […]

Hillsdale Paella vs La Pepica Paella

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 […]

The Wrong Oregon Duck Call

If you play enough sports, watch enough games, and live long enough, one thing becomes apparent. You finally understand things don’t always turn out the way you hope. You win some, lose some, and flip the nut-switch if it doesn’t go your way. When this happens you find too many sports fans with crazy ideas. […]

Portland: Track Town North Makes A Run For Hyatt Hotel And More

A stepping stone is a good thing for someone taking a step. Not so good for the stone. It’s never a win-win deal when the stepping stone is a person, place, or thing. Sports can be a great stepping stone. How many times have you heard a high school football player say, “If I wasn’t playing football I […]
