Today is your day Boomer! Guys, have you looked in the mirror lately....at your hair? I got a rude awakening this week when my picture appeared in the local media. That's me with the two-tone haircut on the back of my head and a maybe a slight-balding spot starting on top! Oh, I look rather old....and the grey is taking on a rather wierd style....I think. Of course, many Boomer men are gradually going grey, so maybe we need some expert advice. This is from "Losi", a celebrity expert on hair styles for Baby Boomers: "Learn to care for gray hair: Gray hair can be coarse and oily. Look for clarifying shampoos and conditioners that exfoliate your scalp and help dissipate oil buildup. Opt for lightweight oils and serums to keep gray hair soft and manageable. Also, keep in mind that environmental factors, such as chlorine or hard water can discolor gray hair. Rinsing in non-chlorinated water is essential, especially if you've been swimming. Get the right cut and style: Choose a styling product that will enhance gray hair and offer shine. Lightweight shine sprays and serums are good choices. I suggest trying a light pomade applied from back to the front of your head. When visiting the salon, opt for a short style, as gray hair is more manageable at this length." What the heck is a "pomade"?! Oh boy....okay. Boomers, maybe some of us do need professional hair help beyond our local barber. Cheers.
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....
