AUTUMN LEAVES, AUTUMN DOGS, BEST TIME OF YEAR

How often do dogs change my day? Every day. And it’s not always my dog. A walk on a trail, a lady with two frisky hounds, and it’s a lively moment. Just two middle aged people on a hillside in the wilderness. Sharing the wonder of it all. Autumn […]

Male Abuse Handled The Man Way Works For Women

Sports talk star Jim Rome has the sort of face that asks to be punched. He’s that good, my favorite sports personality. And he talks the best smack on radio, hands down. Even his respectful interviews even sound like verbal male abuse. I grew up during the reign of Howard Cosell, […]

Breitenbush Retreat: Advancing Forward In Peace

Tell a conservative baby boomer man about a Breitenbush Retreat and expect to hear: Yeah, sure, we did it all back in college. Sure, it’s all about whatever. What? Oh sure. The idea of a retreat is foreign to them now that they’ve hit the years that aren’t so kind. […]

Lighten Up While You Still Can

When The Eagles sing Take It Easy, the line that stands out for me is, ‘Lighten up while you still can.’ It’s the same when Jackson Browne and James Taylor sing it. Baby boomers know how hard it is to lighten up better than anyone. Lighting up too, but that’s another post. […]

Cancer Message Still In The Merck Ad Mess

Call me a late bloomer. Maybe you are too? My discoveries and enthusiasm come after most things have moved on. But it still counts for something. At least that’s what I tell myself. I’m telling you, too, it still counts, you still count. I’m late to see the parent shaming ad for hpv16 […]

FAMILY COLLECTIONS OVERLOAD? OFFERUP

Where is the line between family collections and hoarding? How can you tell when you’re over that line, way over? In this well researched post on BoomerPdx I will dip into the experience of a Museum Collection Manager for an interview. Readers familiar with such details will automatically know what I’m talking […]

HOW TO NOT SEE THE EVIDENCE

Stare and compare the evidence. That’s what a telecom pro called the first key to success. Is something wrong? Look at it. Look hard. Stare a hole in it, then compare it to normal. Normal works across the board. Abnormal, like the brain from Abby Normal in Young Frankenstein, doesn’t work for everyone. […]

ADULT RESPONSIBILITY TAKES AN ADULT? SAYS WHO

No finer whine comes from any other generation. Should we all take a lesson from baby boomers’ and our adult reponsibility? Of course, and here’s why: no age group has shouldered more burden. And it’s so, so, hard. Just ask us. Ask the next old person you see who insists they are as vital and […]

ABIQUA FALLS DREAMSCAPE, OREGON TREASURE

Who knew of the Abiqua Falls dreamscape? The last thing a know-it-all wants is something new, something they don’t know. It’s a problem for some, a challenge for others. A short walk to a river and waterfall? That’s what the listings say, but not if you like your car. Then it’s a longer walk, […]

SILVERTON SEVEN BRIDES BREWERY FESTIVAL

It wasn’t billed as a festival for a Thursday night, but it was this time. A festival of survivability after a heart-thumping force march on the hottest day of the year. Add one of the smokiest days from Canadian fires and it felt like a heavenly Seven Brides Brewery cloud. How wonderful was this? Everyone […]
