What better example of graceless behavior than an old man stealing a seat from women? Yes, it’s a small thing, but still a symptom of a greater ill. Graceless behavior is not about equal rights.
BLOG READERS, BOTS, AND WRITERS
July 10, 2019 by
Google analytics on blog readers is either the biggest tattletale in history, or an effective research tool. It shows and tells where blog readers like you find boomerpdx. Apparently I’m a big hit in Chicago, at least that’s what the bots say. Bot? What else hits a blogger page fifty times for an average of […]
FAKE NEWS SHARED BY BABY BOOMERS, BUT WHY?
January 11, 2019 by
For online fans of social media there’s a drumbeat across many platforms saying the same thing: Baby boomers share more fake news than any other demographic. The usual cutoff age is sixty five, so I’ve got another year before I hit that wall. If you are a boomer I’ve got a question: Do […]
AMAZON SEARCH FOR BITTER, ANGRY, PROFANE MEMOIR
December 28, 2018 by
Amazon search is easy, like google, except you can buy the search results right away. Not so much on google prime. I’m not searching as much as researching the competition during editing breaks of my cancer memoir in the works, and happy to find great books on the topic, though not too many […]
SOCIAL MEDIA SUPER STAR IN THE WINGS
December 18, 2018 by
News reports about social media and the ‘new awareness’ we all need to observe will never keep grandma from posting new baby pictures. ButI think I get the point of the warning. From my census training I learned how to gather visual evidence at the door if a citizen didn’t want to interact […]

Bob Dylan Time Shift From Second Gear To Overdrive
August 16, 2018 by
Like so many today, I also feel change in the wind, and like any baby boomer worthy of the tag, I consult the only text reliable enough to lay it all out in understandable language. No, not the Bible, or any religious narratives. I turn to Bob Dylan, and so should […]

August 2, 2018 by
Life transitions can mean so many things. After all other guesses run out, the final life transition is the end. Auntie Pammy’s life ended, but she left a legacy of love that’s hard to ignore. From the time the news went out I thought of the a meme that said, “Write about what […]
BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION
June 25, 2018 by
Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident? First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press. […]
HISTORY HERO IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR
May 6, 2018 by
As I reflect on a history and pick one history hero, it starts with the yard sign I had posted and now keep in the garage. Obama and Biden weren’t the perfect match, didn’t get everything right. What they did was put a best foot forward. They proceeded as if they knew […]
