Golly Jeepers, It’s the Creepy Geezer’s Meme

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

It’s the Geezer Meme! Because we’re not giving hickies anymore and we don’t have PMS, and we don’t want to rock the world for peace anymore. So here’s the Geezer Meme. Most of these questions are yes or no, but as always it’s much more fun if you flesh them out. Or change them. If you [...]

It’s Not Like Our Family Had Sexual Identity Problems

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Family

My mother’s first name and the names we called her two sisters, seemed normal. When you grow up hearing names, a kid just doesn’t think anything about it.

Only In America: $3.999 isn’t $4.00. What I’m Doing to Reduce Gas Cost at Casa De BowWow

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

Eventually I Learned: It’s Editors and Directors That Make Movies

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

I used to think that great actors made great films. Now I know it’s great editors and directors that make great films. Sydney Pollack made one of my favorite films of all times Out of Africa.

You Think Your Job is Hard? Pshaw.

   Posted by: goinglikesixty    in Baby Boomer

Here’s a little meme deal I picked up on and thought I would give it a go. Heads or Tails provides a theme to write about on Tuesday. Today the theme is “jobs” - about my job or one I have had. I was an architect in Santa Monica, CA early in my career. It [...]
