Today is your day Boomer! Is there any doubt that Donald Trump is getting ready for another run at U.S. President? The former ding-dong leader is shooting his mouth off again on all things that matter. For example, he refuses to criticize Putin for invading Ukraine and claims that the aggression never would have happened if he were president because he is "friends" with the Russian tyrant. What?! He also is supporting the trucker convoy in America that is doing a copycat of the Ottawa fiasco and says protesters in Canada were "slandered" as Nazis, racists and terrorists, charged with what he called "phoney crimes" and accused of being loyal to foreign powers. He says they were nice, peaceful truckers who just wanted freedom. By the way, many of these people were arrested for crimes like harrassment, intimidation, possession of weapons, blocking public roads, mischief, and police obstruction. But this last Trump statement really demonstrates his political ignorance. He called our Prime Minister a "leftist-fascist" for his use of the Emergencies Act. If you know anything about politics, you cannot be left wing and a fascist at the same time. Fascism is as far "right" on the political spectrum as you can go! Donald...Dumb and Dumber! Trump should have been the star of that old movie.....Boomers, get ready for 2024!

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!!
