As Christmas Day approaches, Santa Claus is busy finalizing the details of his travel plans. The elves are frantically finishing all the toys in their North Pole workshop, managing the Naughty/Nice list, and preparing the reindeer for their journey including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer; while Mrs. Claus, the “queen” of the North Pole, takes charge of the logistics and overall […]
It’s the Baby Boomer’s humble opinion that today as members of our American society the vast majority appear to lack integrity. “Back in the day”, the Baby Boomer believes the majority of folks displayed a high degree of integrity. I could go into great detail as to why we’ve experienced such a decline in integrity, but I’ll suffice to say […]
The Baby Boomer must admit he was shocked but not surprised at the assassination of Charlie Kirk this past Wednesday as our American society, as I once knew it, is virtually non-existent. I must’ve had “my head in the sand”, you know, living in seclusion at The Compound, but I wasn’t at all familiar with Charlie Kirk and his huge […]
I’m sorry–I’m on my “stump” and this is why? While growing up, the Baby Boomer believes it’s so very important for our youth to have folks, let’s call them heroes, with whom they can idolize. However, looking at today’s American society I’m having a really hard time of even imagining with whom our youth can idolize today! “Back in the […]
The Baby Boomer is appalled at how people dress or maybe don’t dress today. Growing up “back in the day”, we always dressed properly and it was expected in our society that you exhibited proper dress. Yes, in fact, there were dress codes you were required to follow at both school and in the workplace where standards and conformity were […]
Folks, I don’t know about you, but I’m appalled at how dumb our society is today! Hey, it’s not because there aren’t a lot of smart people out there because there are and many are even brilliant–I term “book smart”! However, the Baby Boomer sees in the younger generations a vast majority lack just plain ol’ common sense! This then […]
This question is often asked of guests on television shows and talk radio. It seemingly goes “hand in hand” with the question of if you had it to do all over again, what would you change or do differently? The most popular answer, from the Baby Boomer’s point of view, is usually a lie as they would change nothing. Please […]
I’ve always had a strong interest in American history, especially, from World War II forward. As a young man, I had envisioned myself entering politics in some form or manner, but ultimately settled for business in the supermarket industry which was probably the best course for me to follow as being a lawyer in politics isn’t very well respected today […]
My parents were part of the Greatest Generation. That generation endured many hardships, trials, and tribulations and made America great through their sacrifice, tenacity, and ability to overcome. They grew up prior and during the Great Depression, fought and won a World War, and industrialized our country. I believe most importantly, they raised the generation of Baby Boomers as families […]
Communication is so important in conducting our lives on a daily basis. It’s an art form which takes years and years to master and one you’re really never able to truly master. Yet, today, communication seems to be so lacking. As the iconic character actor Strother Martin in his role as the Captain in the 1967 film, “Cool Hand Luke”, […]
