Today is your day Boomer! All I can say is be prepared for anything.....any reaction! This after my second COVID shot this week. My first vaccine was a breeze, no bad reaction at all. The second prick was all about fatigue, aches all over, profuse sweating, nausea, a sore arm, and bad sleep! I am just starting to feel better this morning. I don't know if it matters, but I had Moderna both times and I was surprised that just a small shot that I didn't even feel could have such a large impact on my body. But it was worth it. Boomers, now I have about two weeks to let the vaccine work its wonders in my body and I should be good to go this summer.....and I think that's what we all want: a summer with few or no restrictions and a return to "normal". Here's hopin'. Cheers!

    You must have a great immune system if it's responding accordingly! It's a good sign to feel crummy!

    Bring on the hugs!!

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!!
