STAMMTISCH: PORTLAND’S BAR OF THE YEAR

May 12, 2015 by

What Makes A Bar Great, And Why Stammtisch? Have you been to Germany for Octoberfest? To Prague in the Czech Republic for their famous beers? I haven’t, but plans for a beer run to Central Europe seems like a good idea. Instead of a steady diet of cathedrals, museums, and castles, why not a beer […]

A SEXY BOOMER

May 8, 2015 by

Do You Need Statistical Support To Prove There’s Such A Thing As A Sexy Boomer? What looks like a nice website for baby boomers posted “Baby boomers had more sexual partners than today’s young adults.” Wouldn’t you hope a page call oversixty.com had a better handle on this? The writers used data from the Archives […]

LaMARCUS AT LARGE

May 1, 2015 by

Why The Spurs Need LaMarcus Aldridge More Than Portland. It’s been nine years. Nine years with LaMarcus Aldridge as the reluctant star. If he hasn’t assumed his proper position as an NBA champ in Portland, he deserves to get there someplace else. Look at LA’s face and you see the drive to greatness. He wants […]

ITALIAN FASHION, BOOMERPDX STYLE

April 27, 2015 by

Man-Up For A Museum Exhibit of Italian Fashion. How often does this happen: The local art museum, in this case the Portland Art Museum, puts on a fashion show in their exhibit halls. Since it’s Italian fashion it’s all gowns, one of a kind outfits, and tricky shoes. Eventually you see ready to wear pieces […]

OREGONIAN OF RECORD

April 14, 2015 by

When News Leads, The Oregonian Gets There First. Before the internet we watched television news. Walter Cronkite explained how it was before signing off each night with, “And that’s the way it is.” Baby boomers got used to watching the non-telegenic Cronkite’s newscast. No need for a pretty boy like Brian Williams giving the news […]

BOOMER HEALTH INDEX

April 10, 2015 by

When No News is Good Boomer Health News. Just when you’ve turned the corner and feeling better, clothes fit better, face looks more like you remember looking, something happens. You forget to move. You decide not to get up. You don’t feel making an effort is worth the reward. You’re tired. Now what? You could […]

PORTLAND BOOMER GARDEN

April 2, 2015 by

The right decisions for the boomer garden means sending the right signals. If it’s a weed, pull it. If it’s not, leave it alone. Couples who garden together need to agree on which is which. One way is talking it out. Another is writing it down. Hand signals work so much better and encourage more […]

TRAIL BLAZERS TAKE A LOW BLOW

April 2, 2015 by

One Trail Blazer knows how to give it, one how to take it. If ever a team needed a solid stiff arm on the way to victory it was Portland Wednesday night in the Moda Center. Instead, it was the Los Angeles Clippers’ Chris Paul delivering the winning shot. In more ways than one. During […]

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM FOR INDIANA?

April 1, 2015 by

Religious Freedom For Jim Nabors? For all you hear about Oregon, from overpriced Portland, to overpriced craft beer, to almost the lowest high school graduation rate in the nation, we’ve got perks. We might be raising tomorrow’s morons, but all is not lost. At least we try to keep gay bashing low on the legislative […]

BECK’S IN PORTLAND BEER CITY

March 23, 2015 by

A Euro-problem For Portland Beer? Or Just Me. In the beginning there was Blitz, the baby boomer’s original Portland beer. You can still see the remains of that other urban brewery around NW 12th and Burnside’s Brewery Blocks. It’s a nice re-use of an area instead of complete tear down. What isn’t around is the […]
