Wildflower walks after a wet spring? Don’t go too early. I found this flower and not much else. What I did find was even better.
READING OUT 2022: TOP POSTS ON BOOMERPDX
December 31, 2022 by
Reading out 82nd Ave in Portland Oregon leads the list. Instead of looking like a tired stretch of New Jersey road with Bruce Springsteen sitting on his daddy’s lap as he steered through town, 82nd was a magical fairly tale in 2022. Did I mention magical? I called it Dream Street. That’s what it was […]

VOTE BLUE FOR A BETTER YOU, MILLENNIALS
October 31, 2022 by
Vote Blue ‘for a chance’ to be a better you is more like it. “But what’s a better me, BoomerPdx?” Sure, go ahead and ask a blogger that question and don’t be too surprised at the answer. Is there a right answer?
SPENDING TIME LIKE YOU’LL NEVER GET OLD?
June 27, 2022 by
Spending time together in the right places make the best memories. The guys in the image are two brothers I follow on twitter. One is a sports talk guy, the other is a regular guest. They go beyond sports with their life lesson takes including recipes, medical advice, and their brand of man-knowledge. The tweet […]

June 8, 2022 by
Takedown tactics in wrestling come from as many angles as there are wrestlers. Takedowns in real life are the same, except no one is keeping score. Since real life takedowns come with unforeseen consequences, be careful how you choose. The first thing to do is show up.
