FOREVER YOUNG LASTS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

A song like Forever Young is a nice thing until something sears it right into your brain instead of bouncing off your ear, turning the dial, and moving on. Forever Young is such a song for millions. It’s the song for every parent who has seen their kid move from stage to stage, from rolling […]

BABY BOOMER ALERT: YOU’RE OLD AND YOU CAN’T HIDE IT ANYMORE

A question for readers in the baby boomer demographic: when did you realize you can’t hide your age? Was it when you first made a skin tent on the back of your hand? The first dark spot that looked just like the one you remember on your grandma’s arm? When you noticed something […]

FAKE NEWS SHARED BY BABY BOOMERS, BUT WHY?

For online fans of social media there’s a drumbeat across many platforms saying the same thing: Baby boomers share more fake news than any other demographic. The usual cutoff age is sixty five, so I’ve got another year before I hit that wall. If you are a boomer I’ve got a question: Do […]

KNOWING ME, KNOWING YOU, (UH HUH)

Life Long Learners Get Life Lesson Whether They Learn Or Not

Life Lessons start early for writers, then they spend years figuring it out enough to make a joke, a poem, a short story, novella, novel. Maybe more, like a groundbreaking memoir. If it’s worth learning, it’s worth writing about to drill it in. Like most children of my generation, baby boomers, I had it made […]

LIFE MARATHON ENDS EARLY FOR QUITTERS

You’ve heard it, I’ve heard it, we’ve both felt it. We’re tired and don’t know why, because a life marathon doesn’t have a finish line. Eating right, getting rest, and still tired. Is it a baby boomer lament, or just the way it is? Maybe it’s time to sit it out for the […]

CANCER RESEARCH THROUGH BETTER BEER

“I’m buying you a beer,” G said. “That’s awfully nice, but you don’t have to,” I said. “It’s that one,” he said. “Which one?” I asked. “At the bottom of the Daily Specials.” I looked at the beer menu and didn’t see it. “Where are the specials?” […]
