Celebrating 10 Years of BoomerBroadcast
Ten years and exactly one thousand essays later (my high-school English teachers would be shocked), I think I can congratulate myself for actually sticking with it. When I posted my first BoomerBroadcast message Those Were The Days My Friend to baby boomer readers on September 14, 2013, I wasn’t sure I would have the stick-to-it-iveness to keep blogging. Did I have the stamina? Would I be able to…

BOOMERBROADcast is under renovation
BOOMERBROADcast is under renovation
Warning: If you encounter weird formatting and what appears to be complete chaos when you open BOOMERBROADcast, don’t be alarmed. It’s just this old boomer trying to improve her site. And it’s hard work when you’re technically challenged and learned to type on a high tech piece of equipment that looked like this:I’m trying to jazz up the look of my site, make it more interactive and easier for…

Shame on the Saints and other NFL teams
Shame on the Saints and other NFL teams
We all know professional sports organizations are chauvinistic but what’s shocking is how much they’re still getting away with. An article in today’s New York Timesby Ken Belson reminded me of an earlier blog I posted about the disgraceful way the NHL treats its cheerleaders. Former New Orleans Saints’ cheerleader Bailey Davis was recently fired for posting a picture of herself in a one-piece…

Boomer sex . . . what's your position?
Boomer sex . . . what’s your position?
It was definitely the start of something big
Remember the good old days when Boomers had sex like we were rewriting the Kama Sutra? During the sexual revolution in the sixties, we became convinced no one in the history of the world had enjoyed better sex than we did. In the days before worrying about Aids, herpes, HPV and other STDs, our mantra was “Make Love, Not War”and boy did we make our…

What did you do yesterday?
What did you do yesterday?
This is a test. To reassure me that I’m not losing my marbles. When I was out walking the dog the other day, I stopped to visit a friend who casually asked “What did you do yesterday?”. I drew a complete blank. At our age (Boomers) memory lapses are to be expected as some mental inventory gets rotated out to accommodate new material, but my off-loading is getting alarming. Just to test myself, I…

It's March Madness time again
It’s March Madness time again
For the benefit of new readers I’m reposting my annual March Madness message.
Please tell me I’m not the only person in the world who thought March Madness was about special annual retail sales—like Black Friday. For weeks leading up to the big event and for the duration, I’ve waiting for the flyers from my favourite retailers to arrive in my mailbox. With visions of bargain-priced sugar plums…

The News. Was it good for you?
The News. Was it good for you?
It’s not hard to feel discouraged and helpless.
Where do we draw the line between morbid curiosity and genuine concern? Each morning as I read the newspaper and then watch the news on television later in the evening, I find myself torn. On one hand I want to remain informed but on the other hand it’s making me feel ill. Watching the horror show on the American political scene is like driving past…

5 reasons why Melania will never occupy The White House
5 reasons why Melania will never occupy The White House
If I smile, he said he’d pay my American Express bill.
Now that the inauguration festivities are over and President Trump no longer has to fake respect for family values (five children with three wives), First Lady Melania has retreated to her ivory tower in Manhattan, under the guise of being a “full-time” mother. After all, she does have her hands full with making all those wardrobe and…
