Today is your day Boomer! Yesterday was the first day of GOLF season for me and because of the warm weather, this is the earliest start in years! Wow....what a day, and was I ever surrounded by a multitude of Boomers. Mostly men, by the way, because this is a recreational sport dominated by males. But there is one "bee in my bonnet" I want to say as the season gets underway. Boomers....make this walk in the park chasing a little white ball about exercise plus sport. So many guys yesterday were on carts....chugging along for 4 hours. For me, I always walk and my pedometre recorded almost 16,000 steps.....so good for me! I know, I know, some Boomers need carts for medical reasons....but some are just lazy and want to ride, drink, and socialize. You need to break that habit or at least compromise and walk every second day or every second 9 holes. Try it.....your body will love it and it is all about health. Cheers.

Today is your day Boomer! My Dad left this world this week. I was there in-person to say goodbye and, of course, it was very, very difficult. But rather than focusing on the negatives of his downfall, I want to share with you my Dad's many contributions to my life. First off, Harold (Hal) shared his name with me and helped raise me as one of six kids in our family. Imagine the financial impact a family of eight had on his work life and mental state! Speaking of that, he taught me the importance of a strong work ethic and a good education. All his kids have university degrees or trades tickets. He showed me the supreme importance of family gatherings, how to flyfish...even when he was colour blind....how to use tools, play high-level bridge, eat organic foods, he taught me how to drive....even though I ruined the transmission on our old car....he showed me how to sail, save and invest money, have an appreciation for nature, he was a role model for me as I moved through heart/s

Today is your day Boomer! You know, you go away for a wedding and a few days camping....and another war breaks out. In addition to the long, drawn-out conflict in Ukraine, we now have a war in the Middle East between terrorist-group Hamas and Israel. Hundreds have died so far in the occupied territories of Gaza, Westbank, and Golan....and along the Israeli borders. Foreigners living in this area have been kidnapped and some killed, and America is sending weapons to Israel. Why? What does all this mean? What is some of the history behind this terrible conflict? As a former history teacher, I will attempt to inform interested Boomers in my next few blogs. In the meantime, I suggest the two sides sit down and listen to the lyrics in the 1975 song "Why Can't We Be Friends" (some of which are listed in this picture). Ironically, the song is performed by the American punk band "War". Maybe listen to it on YouTube as well....cheers Boomers!!
