Today is your day Boomer! Today I could talk about the the next wave of COVID.....the next freight train variant, Omicron, out of control and spreading rapidly across Canada. I could mention that cases could reach 2000 daily in B.C. by late December and I might add that our holiday season could be greatly effected....but I won't. Instead, how about some Baby Boomer comedy? Here is an excerpt from a book I read on Boomer Humour: Sam, Joe and Ben, three boomers, go out for a walk. Sam says, ''Windy, isn’t it?'' Joe says, ''No, it's Thursday.'' Ben says, ''So am I, let’s go for a drink.'' * New pick up line: Do I come here often? * Betty and her husband Bob have been married for 30 years. On their 55th birthdays, a fairy appears before them and grants them each one wish. Betty says, ''I'd like to spend a month in Hawaii.'' POOF! Two tickets to Maui appear in her hands. Bob says, ''I'd like to have a woman 30 years younger than me.'' POOF! He is suddenly 85. See picture and thanks to Glen for his comedic style and distraction from our seemingly-endless pandemic lives! The book is available on Amazon and might make a great Christmas gift! Hang-in there Boomers and don't watch too much Bonnie Henry on TV. Happy holidays!
Today is your day Boomer! Well, yesterday was my day! My long-awaited dream of building and opening a new high school gym in Summerland came true! 550 students watched, smiled and vigourously applauded as the SD67 school trustees officially cut the ribbon and opened the facility. The kids played in their new gym, in a so-called Rocket Rally, right after that and then 200 more mostly-Summerlanders attended a two-hour opening fundraiser that evening. There were people, young and old, every where: going on tours, eating food, watching volleyball and basketball, listening to speeches, and investing money in 30 community-donated silent auction items and a huge 50/50 raffle...organized by the school's Parent Advisory Council. The final fundraiser tally was about 7000$...made in only two hours! Congratulations students and staff of SSS. Your new gym is finally here, the first new one since 1951! Play on....
