Today is your day Boomer! I heard this sing on the radio yesterday and thought I would share the lyrics with you.
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer,
Just fill your basket full of sandwiches and weenies,
Then lock the house up, now you're set,
And on the beach you'll see the girls in their bikinis,
As cute as ever but they never get 'em wet,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Dust off the sun and moon and sing a song of cheer,
Don't hafta tell a girl and fella about a drive-in,
Or some romantic moon it seems,
Right from the moment that those lovers start arrivin',
You'll see more kissin' in the cars than on the screen,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
Those days of soda and pretzels and beer,
Roll out those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer,
You'll wish that summer could always be here,
You'll wish that summer could always be here.
Nat King Cole, from 1963. This song went to #3 on charts and was a big summer favourite. Boomers, most of you were around in '63. Has August really changed that much in 60 years? See ya, I am headed to the beach!
Today is your day Boomer! Baby Boomers, another health benefit is back! It is backward walking and the trend-often associated with the 1980s-is making a return as grey-haired wonders, like you and I, look for new-or-newish ideas to help keep us fit! According to cbc.ca, "walking backwards has shown that there's less impact on the joints by using these different muscles — and it can increase flexibility and even help alleviate back pain." One 62-year-old Boomer says "Every time I walk, I just do a little twirl and walk backwards for a bit, and I'll do it just a few times during my walk." It may look a little unusual and may get a few laughs from passersby....by consider the actual benefits. Clinical exercise specialist André Noël Potvin says "When you start to walk backwards, you actually start to rebalance the forces around the ankle, knee, hip and lower back." This really helps Boomers recovering from knee surgery and older Boomers who are havi...
