BLAME ENGLAND FOR THAT?
May 22, 2024 by
Blame England? For what? For being so green, so lush, so historical with its leftover Roman roots? For having current people renting and living in four or five hundred year old houses? Go ahead and blame England for anything you want and you’ll be able to find evidence backing it up. Just make it good. […]
AGE APPROPRIATE FOR WHO
May 9, 2024 by
Who says, “Grow up and try to be age appropriate,” and who do they say it too? Your hair’s too long, your clothes don’t match, and you don’t smoke the same cigarettes as them. But that was a long time ago. Since 1966 we’ve learned how to find satisfaction.

August 22, 2022 by
Young people want to hear from the olds? They need a better narrative from us? Us boomers? Sure they do, just like you did when you were young. We heard something, but what it was ain’t exactly clear.
LIFETIME AWARDS? WHY NOT START EARLY

When do lifetime awards start pouring in? Angry Boomers say Millennials got too many awards already, trophy after trophy for signing up on soccer, indoor soccer, basketball, baseball, and football teams. And they are right. So what? Who has a problem with a kid trophy? It might be the only one they’ll get if they […]
WONDER WHY NO ONE ASKS, “WHERE ARE THEY NOW?”
August 21, 2020 by
Who doesn’t wonder about people from different parts of life and wonder why they left, or why you left? Something happened. If it wasn’t something that required therapy or the law, an occasional ‘wonder why’ happens. And it’s okay. Yeah, I feel better, too.
