Today is your day Boomer! Is this guy nuts? Does he think he is above the law....which applies to ALL citizens in democratic nations like Canada and the United States. Everyone, this is called "rule of law"....it is in the American constitution, which is a big book of rules that "everyone" in the U.S. must follow. Trump's court case involving him trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election results is going before the U.S. Supreme Court very soon, and guess what Donald...it is a very BIG uphill battle for you! Here is what two of the justices have already stated in the recent past:(1) "Stated simply, the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings.” (2)"The law applies equally to all persons, including a person who happens for a period of time to occupy the Presidency." But Trump has an argument of course. According to The Associated Press, here it is: "Trump’s lawyers argue that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for their official acts. Otherwise, they say, politically motivated prosecutions of former occupants of the Oval Office would become routine and presidents couldn't function as the commander in chief if they had to worry about criminal charges." Oh boy....what balarkey! This is another reason why Trump and his BIG ego must not be elected again. Good luck America...

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!

Today is your day Boomer! Some advice from a Boomer who is now two months removed from hip replacement surgery. Treat your recovery like a job. Every morning, I take a 30 minute hot tub to warm up my joints and muscles. You could use a shower, bathtub or warming pad. Then I do my physio exercises for 30-40 minutes.....and, I play uptempo, motivating music to keep me going. Then I drink water, then I do 30 minutes on our stationary bike with a favourite tv show or movie in front of me. Then I take about a two hour break to relax, read, eat and do other things....then, I walk for 40 minutes, sometimes with our dogs. I used to take walking sticks or a cane, now I take nothing but a good mindful attitude of enjoying the day and walking with good rhythm and technique. Then, I am done. For awhile, I would rest or nap...but now, that is not needed! My physiotherapist says I am about three weeks ahead of schedule and I can get back into the gym for whole-body, gradual workouts. That begins ...
