Today is your day Boomer! Or maybe November 29 is your day! That is the day of release for the latest Beatles' documentary entitled " Beatles 64". According to BANG showbiz, it "will focus on the 'electrifying moment' of the legendary group's first visit to America, and the global impact of the band at that time." The Fab Four film will be produced by Martin Scorsese and will be on Disney+. It will take us back to the moment the band arrived in New York City to unprecedented excitement ahead of their performance on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' - which became the most watched TV event of its time, and shining a light on the bond between the band. The film will also feature rare footage restored in 4K, as well as, live clips from the group's first US concert at the Washington DC Coliseum, newly-filmed interviews with surviving Beatles Paul and Ringo, and discussions with fans whose lives were transformed by the band. I like it!! But I am a real diehard Beatles' fan. How about you Boomers? Enough to get a subscription to Disney+???!!!

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

Today is your day Boomer! Some people just don't get excited about NHL hockey anymore....they have excuses like the continued existance of legal fighting, their team never wins, and how do you get pumped-up by "a bunch of millionaires" chasing a small, black,rubber puck?! I do though. Yesterday was " Hockey Day in Canada" as all Canadian teams took to the ice, including Montreal which played my all-time fav Boston! And it was quite the night in my household; we hosted a special hockey night viewing, dinner, and games with a friend couple(one of which is an ardent Habs' fan!) and the emotion and entertainment was special....at least for me. My Bruins won in a cakewalk 9-4....but there was no cake for dessert, just chocolate/peanut butter squares! Great company and a great game. Here's to the tradition of old-time hockey Boomers! May the memory of Bobby Orr, Maurice Richard, Dave Keon, and Wayne Gretzky never die! And cheers to HNIC.

Today is your day Boomer! My Mom's birthday is today....she would have been 94, but passed away from cancer 30 years ago.

(9)her love of flowers and nature walks (10)her love of ocean-side strolls and annual trips to Maui (11)her regular Sunday family dinners....and finally, (11)her constant giving, selfless nature. Boomers, my Mom was a treas
