AARP POINTS THEIR MONEY FINGER

February 10, 2014 by

Do you really expect celebrities to invest wisely?   What’s easier, shooting fish in a barrel or making fun of famous people losing their money? If most of us live lives of quiet desperation, the media turns up the sound for the loud ones. And nothing gets louder than rich-man failure in America. Show business people losing […]

DYNAMIC DENTAL TIME WITHOUT THE DRAMA

February 10, 2014 by

Have you seen the dental form that asks how you feel? How do you feel about dentists? About making dental appointments? How do you feel about waiting in the dentist’s waiting room? This isn’t about uncovering deep secrets, just a way for the doc to get a feel for their patient. It’s about feelings, and […]

LAURA ROSS-PAUL’S PORTLAND KNOCK OUT

February 8, 2014 by

A View From The Froelick Gallery. By now Portland baby boomers understand the meaning of an invitation. It’s a give and take thing. If someone invites you to attend their Easter church service you don’t expect Jesus to show up. But He does. If you invite someone to watch a sporting event, you don’t expect […]

WHY THE SEATTLE SUPER BOWL MEANS MORE HERE

February 6, 2014 by

Call it the drama of life, the thrill of victory. Call it the agony of defeat. This one had it all, beginning with the near mythic first snap to the most prepared man to ever play the game, the most prepared athlete in the history of all sports. Peyton Manning is the opposite of the […]

THE USEFUL PORTLAND BOOMER BLOGGER

February 4, 2014 by

The Common Question. What is it you ask when you meet someone new? Networking people want to know, “What do you do?” So do most others, but they won’t admit it. They don’t want to seem pushy. Portland business is polite business. When you meet others in a regularly planned gathering it’s not a question of what […]

NEW YEARS EVE vs SUPER BOWL

February 3, 2014 by

Every new year we’re losing weight and eating right? Wrong. With the Super Bowl hovering in the near future, every New Year’s resolution goes in the bucket. “I will give myself more will power in the new year.” Not on Super Bowl Sunday. And neither is anyone else. Will power isn’t what you pick up […]

SPORTSMANSHIP AND THE SUPER BOWL FANS

February 1, 2014 by

Play To The Whistle. Everyone who’s played football at any level knows the first rule. Keep in mind this is organized football with coaches and referees, not a side yard game of wipeout. Or a beach game of pound the sand. If you’ve worn a mouthguard and a helmet with a face mask, then you’ve […]

RAISING KIDS THE BABY BOOMER WAY

January 31, 2014 by

An article posted by salon.com, an article from 2001 titled The Curse Of The Hippie Parents, reflects on a then thirty five year old woman’s memories from childhood. If she’s forty eight now, she’s almost in late boomer territory. Which means her parents were early boomers, the group who made it all possible by their […]

THE SUPER BOWL ON BOOMERPDX

January 29, 2014 by

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.

Edward Hopper’s Portland?

January 27, 2014 by

The Perfect Painter For Dark Days Of The Soul. You’re not the first Portland baby boomer to wake up on a Sunday with no NFL games that matter. No early game, no late game, no Football Night In America game. You’re depressed, but don’t want to admit it’s because of no football. College ball is […]
