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! And today is another day for wining......and I don't mean complaining. I mean drinking some pressed grapes and enjoying the health benefits. That's right, drinking alcohol is good for you. First, let's state the obvious....only in moderate amounts: two glasses per day for men and one for women. Research shows the following positive health effects: (1) reduces risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson disease (2) is an anti-flammatory(white wine is better for this) (3) decreases risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol(red wine is a better choice) (4) good for mental health, may increase age longevity, may promote healthy gut bacteria. All of this sounds good and much of it boils down to the antioxidants which are higher in red wine. It seems reds--like Merlot, Cab Sav, and Shiraz--have been studied more.....which means more research is needed on whites. Boomers, maybe we could volunteer for a new study! Cheers!
