Today is your day Boomer! These guys are too old to be Boomers....but I bet their concert in Vancouver this week was dominated by a Baby Boomer audience. Boomer friends of mine paid the big bucks and went, part of the Hackney Diamonds Tour and it was the first(and maybe the last!) Rolling Stones' visit to B.C. since 2006. Check out picture and the wrinkles on these boys! Mick and Keith are both 83 this year...wow, time really flies! Maybe, with The Beatles, the two most popular rock n'roll bands of all time! But you have to give them credit for still doing what they love....a lesson for all of us as we should continue to follow our passions until the day we die. Speaking of that, a sad note was part of the concert. A 65-year-old Boomer woman succumbed to a heart attack just before the concert started. Take extreme care in these crowded, lively situations Boomers. But enjoy the old time music. 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
