THE SUPER BOWL ON BOOMERPDX

Chasing The Ring. A few things to notice on Super Sunday: All the talk about a New York Super Bowl won’t change the location. New Jersey is still the site for this year.

Starting At Anti-Drug Quarterback, Kevin Sabet

From wiki: In February of 2013, Salon Magazine referred to Kevin as “the quarterback of the new anti-drug movement.” Welcome to Oregon, player. Hope you enjoy this stop on your platform building tour. Mr. Sabet, a Cal Berkeley grad with a PhD from Oxford understands his audience. When the subject is weed, he gets it. Isn’t Berkeley famous […]

OHS Shows ‘What They Did’

On a wicked cold December night a man lectured from the stage of the First Congregational Church in downtown Portland.

Kennedy.’ Swanson followed the characters and events from fifty […]

Boomerpdx Explains Blog Traffic One Way

Baby Boomers and blogs? It even sounds like a perfect match. So simple yet so elegant, like a Victoria Secret model’s wardrobe. And like that model, your blog needs legs. Bloggers call it traffic. Traffic? They call it traffic, like cars? If you’ve ever had a yard sale, you know the drill.

Oregon Ducks Deep In The Heart Of Texas

The final year of the Bowl Championship Series won’t produce a real #1. How can it if Alabama isn’t playing? At least the SEC got in. Auburn’s a good substitute, same state and all, but they know they shouldn’t be there. War Eagle, or Tiger, or any other secret name, scored on a last second […]

Baby Boomer Oregon Histories

If it was good enough for Ken Kesey, it’s good enough for you. The question: Where are the Oregon stories and why don’t we hear more of them? At least Kesey kept it in state with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest and Sometimes A Great Notion. Blame it on confusion. Oregon is not England no matter what the […]
