Today is your day Boomer! You know all four of these guys may soon be gone! Yes, John and George have already passed, and Paul and Ringo are in their 70's......and still performing! I watched Paul do his thing in Vancouver a few years ago and, I admit, it was the best concert I have ever attended. Now, Ringo Starr and his All-Star Band are coming to Penticton, BC in October and tickets go on sale today! The cheapest seat is 80 bucks, but I can tell you from watching other concerts in the SOEC-like The Doobie Brothers-there is not a bad seat in the house. Here are the other Canadian concert dates if you live out of my area: 09/26 –Montreal, Quebec @ Place Bell 09/27 — Kingston, Ontario @ Leon’s Centre 09/30 — Mt Pleasant, MI @ Soaring Eagle Casino 10/01 — New Buffalo, Mi @ Four Winds Casino 10/02 — Prior Lake, MN @ Mystic Lake Casino 10/04 — Winnipeg, Manitoba @ Canada Life Centre 10/05 — Saskatoon, Saskatchewan @ Sasktel Centre 10/06 — Lethbridge, Alberta @ Enmax Centre 10/08 — Abbotsford, BC @ Abbotsford Centre 10/09 — Penticton, BC @ South Okanagan Events Centre. Get ready for Beatle oldies like Yellow Submarine and Don't Pass Me By....and also Ringo's big solo hits like Photograph and You're Sixteen. His band is pretty awesome too with big names from other bands from the 1970s....perfect for Boomers! Enjoy and 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!!
