FUKUSHIMA FEVER OR BEER

May 17, 2016 by

That red line aiming for Oregon hit me with a wave of Fukushima Fever. If you don’t live on the Oregon coast, you drive to the Oregon coast. That’s how it works. If you don’t like the drive, you move there. I grew up on the Oregon coast so every time I go to the […]

INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN BOOMER

April 18, 2016 by

I hear you asking, “What’s a ‘proven’ boomer?” You know what a ‘made man’ is in the Mafia? They’ve taken an assignment from the boss and done good with it. Usually the assignment that makes you a Made Man also makes you a Button Man. You push the button, pull the trigger, you’re a made […]

MUSEUM ARTIFACTS DON’T BELONG IN TOILETS

February 22, 2016 by

If you have something worthy of a museum artifacts collection, keep it safe. A museum joke that bears repeating: This is George Washington’s hatchet he used to chop down the cherry tree. The handle’s been replaced six time, the head four, but it represents the same space. Funny stuff. I think it came from Saturday […]

THE LINE FOR AMERICAN REFUGEE STATUS

December 14, 2015 by

If you’re an experienced refugee, it is better as an American refugee? What does America expect of the new people showing up? Be a good neighbor and learn the rules of the road.

HAMMERING ART IN THE HUMAN ARCHIVE

February 28, 2015 by

Inhuman With The Human Archive: Taking It Out On A Statue This is how a museum works: You study parts of museum collections to discover gaps in time, material, and style. It’s an archive of stuff made by human, a human archive. For instance, American clocks had metal workings before the Revolutionary War. Wooden workings […]

SPORTS SMART, THE WINNING DIFFERENCE

January 20, 2015 by

How Smart Is Too Smart? Being smart is one thing. No one is responsible for their IQ. It’s either in the family gene pool or you’re a freak of nature. Using your smarts is the biggest challenge. How do you channel that mental energy into something more constructive than solving Rubik’s Cube blindfolded? Should you […]

First Published On Boomercafe.com (click on over)   Memo to young families: Pay attention to other parents as the years pass. You’ll see them again.

King Arthur, The Baby Boomer’s Friend In Need

December 11, 2012 by

If reading tales of kings and queens encourage a child’s imagination, dragging them up the treacherous goat trails of Tintagel Castle makes it real. Who does that? Baby Boomers seeking greater cultural meaning. King Arthur is a good one to focus on. You know the story well enough to sound like an authority. Sword in the […]
