July 25, 2013 by

Baby boomer numbers scare non-boomers. Most of the numbers you hear sound like this: 79 Million Baby Boomers in America. 10,000 Baby Boomers retire every day. Those are the frightening numbers.

The Baby Boomer Prince

July 24, 2013 by

How does the Royal Family bring out so many opposing opinions? The Queen is selfish for hanging onto the throne so long. Or, she’s smart not to step aside for her ding-a-ling oldest son, Prince Charles. Charles went over his head to marry Diana. Or, Charles followed his heart for Camilla. Go ahead and pile […]

Boomer History 101

July 14, 2013 by

If Your Boomer Man Seems Confused, Here’s Why: It starts with ‘Old School’ and how do you define it. Yes, it’s the title of a Will Farrell movie, but move along. Old School in 2013 could mean the 1980′s, bumped to the 1990′s for twenty-somethings. It works for shorter attention spans, but not longer. Wiki […]

Dark Boomer Treasure And Martha Hull

July 11, 2013 by

A Noir Memoir And Dark Boomer Treasure. The last time I thought so hard about the alphabet was someone asking, “Who told you to write? Who said you could write?” My answer, “Dad, what’s the big deal? I know the alphabet.” I sang the alphabet song to prove it. “Son,” he said, “you’re an English […]

BOOMER HELICOPTER

July 8, 2013 by

What are the best words when you show up at a family emergency? “Not many families respond like this.” Those are the doctor’s words when Boomer showed up. His dad was headed to memory care.
