HARDEST WORKER? MOMS FOR THE WIN

Who is the hardest worker you know? If it’s not your Mom, or the mother of your children, you’re wrong. I know this how? Every baby boomer knows the answer.

FAMILY ROADSHOW WITHOUT THE ANTIQUES

The Family Roadshow is the same as the show on OPB but with livelier stories. Instead of, “This belonged to my great-great grandmother and it’s been handed down generation after generation,” why not The Truth? “I stole this off my grandpa at his wake,” Or, “This book used to be my Mom’s. She’s still looking […]

ATTENTION ECONOMY SPENDING CAP

Google’s response to ‘Attention Economy’ is “About 569,000,000 results (0.47 seconds).” I didn’t read them all, but the first few referred to the ‘so-called’ attention economy. ‘So-called’ because no one wants to be shamed for thinking there’s such a thing as an attention economy?

OREGON TRAILS LEAD TO HOME

Oregon trails? There’s more than one? If you’re looking for the way back home, any trail will do. When home is Oregon, they are all Oregon trails. More important, they are your trails no matter where you live.

DOUBLE HAPPY WHEN FAMILIES JOIN TOGETHER

Double happy is the first time you hear, “Wait until you meet your girlfriend’s mother before making big decisions.” And your future mother in law turns out to be a champ. That’s a happy occasion? No, that’s a double happy occasion.

‘BACK HOME’ IS THE SADDEST PLACE
