Today is your day Boomer! Are you ready for this?.....Trump, Trump, Trump! He's back! You must like social media because you are accessing it right now and pretty soon Mr. Trump, who says "your favourite president has been silenced", will make a big splash with his new internet site: TRUTH SOCIAL. That's right, the man many of us love to hate, is introducing his own social media network in January to right many wrongs....in his words. During his time as president, he got into a boatload of trouble with social media sites like Twitter and FaceBook and lost his privileges. So, why not create your own communication network and spread more misinformation? Just in time to get tuned up for the next presidential election! Yes, he can run again for president because he has only served one 4-year term and he is allowed to serve two! God forbid.....but we all know he has the ego and money to go for it again. What can we do? Nothing really from here in Canada except laugh at the state of American politics and hope for a Trump loss. Oh, what we can do is NOT access his new "truth" site......even out of curiosity. It will just add fuel to his fire. And Boomers, remember my blog earlier this week on hyperbole? Trump's name choice "Truth" would be the best example of gross exaggeration I can produce.....I'm sure. 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!!
