Book excerpt: Join Kay Hoflander on an honest, humorous, and refreshing look back on the experiences of a unique generation and the challenges of aging digital. This humorous and whimsical approach brings to mind the writings of Erma Bombeck. Musings of a Baby Boomer: Beyond X, Y, Z is a collection of selected shorts from Hoflander's weekly newspaper column "Full Circle," featuring sometimes funny and sometimes philosophical stories with a continuous theme: the reluctant, but generally happy, aging of the Baby Boomer generation. In this collection, Hoflander tells stories about everything from frogs taking over her pond to her grandchildren's Harry Potter obsession. She reflects on the simpler times of her childhood and addresses present-day changes to which, as a baby boomer, she adapts: memory loss, evolving technology, and politics. Through it all, she uses humor and wit to remind readers not to take life too seriously--and to focus on the things that really matter.

Download or read book A Contemplative Life written by Charles F Harrington and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compilation of essays, poems and letters written over the last few decades and woven together in a narrative that tells the story of a baby boomer's lifetime. This book was written as a labor of love, detailing a wonderful journey through our often tumultuous times. The book begins with some family historical backround and continues along the march of time from the 'wild eyed wonder' of youth, 'coming of age', in the 70's and 80's, living the 'American dream', family life, 'loss and sorrows', 'love and romance', all the way to the present day perspective of a life lived well and full. The book reflects one man's values and details how they came to be, and where they have led him. In it, I hope others can find moments, emotions and memories with which to identify along with perhaps an understanding that there has always been much more to our lives than meets the eye. The book, for the greater part, is a-political, focusing instead on cultural and family life from the 1960's through the present day, all with hints of a private, but obvious foundation in faith and optimism. The essays, poems and letters all draw upon lessons learned, some the hard way, from parents, neighbors, friends and most of all experience. Some family photos are included, both as an illustration of the times and themes, and the author's personal story. The author grew up in what was then, the small Massachusetts town of Franklin, then settled in the 'Quiet Corner' of Northeastern Connecticut to raise his own family. He lived in each for roughly thirty years, and this is a story of those times, places and the people who rode along on the journey. As the middle child of nine siblings, children of a high school English teacher, and a deeply thoughtful, if somewhat beleaguered home-maker, the 'gift of gab', seemed a natural birthright. Life in the 1960's and 70's in that small bedroom community had a most significant impact. Ours is a very different world today, from the one we all grew up in, some truths do remain, others no doubt, are sorely missed. The importance and influence of those 'small town' values, from a different time in America, extended through into the development of the author's life as a father himself, and to the lives of his children in another small town in Connecticut. The world certainly has changed, but many of the ideals and principles have survived. These writings are the product of a 'Life of Contemplation', a consideration of perhaps a grander scheme to things, and at the very least a tale of wonderful adventure that drives home the point offered to the author at ten years old by his father, that we can indeed, "Choose to be happy, regardless of the circumstances". That advice has been my mantra, and my hope is that others can read that in these writings, and hopefully find some truth of it, in their own lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Zero to Puberty and Other Life Stories is a memoir collection of stories and selected examples of author, commentator and retired teacher Terry Donnelly. The book highlights the people and times from the late 1940's to today." The range of emotions reflects the seasons of a life. They flit from hilarious, to somber, to thought provoking. The author uses his "common man" status to offer "tales, confessions, and musings" as snapshots of the baby boomer generation-a generation in which we went from propeller-driven airplanes to deep space exploration, from inkwells in desks to instant, electronic communication, and from music on vinyl, through music in cyberspace, to music trending back to vinyl. From Zero to Puberty challenges readers to scribble notes in the margins, and then proceed to write your own history.

Book excerpt: This book of verse is about the shared experiences and observations of the baby boomers. You come into this world and suddenly, or what seems like suddenly - forty, fifty, sixty years later, you find yourself trying to figure out what makes you think and feel the way you do. This book is my way of connecting some of the dots - NASA, Johnny Carson, Crayons, War, Love, Dylan, Trigonometry, Veterans, Soap Operas, Orlando, Beatles, and more than a handful of pieces about automobiles and the environment. You may find yourself remembering what you are happy to recall, and perhaps recalling what you were hoping to forget. Some pieces are therapeutic, others humorous, some sad, a number opinionated, but I hope you will find them all meaningful - worth keeping around and taking a look at now and then. This book may tie a few loose threads together for you, and loosen a few others. So it is with memories.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rosa Harris, national award-winning journalist, editor, talk show host and journalism professor, has crafted a collection of insightful, humorous and touching essays on the baby boomer generation that will leave you smiling, laughing and reminiscing on the times of your life. Baby boomers will see themselves in many of Rosa's musings on the most amazing generation ever!- Michael B Davie, author Poetry for the Insane I've known Rosa Harris for 25 years, starting when she worked at a city magazine in Montreal. It was in the final few months before Generation X was published and there was no awareness in the culture that something, anything, might want to cleave away from the baby boomer's stranglehold on all things generational... She's one of the few boomers who is fully aware of just how annoying and self-absorbed her generation really is... fully aware of the historical forces that had to align to create the most... narcissistic birth cohort in the history of our planet, yet she can really tap into this awareness to create something sensitive and smile-inducing. I think you'll enjoy this book. - Douglas Coupland, author, Generation X "Rosa Harris has assembled a series of very thought-provoking apercus of her times and generation. They are all from different angles and none is ponderous or over-long. The result is a very pleasing, very easy, and often poignant, read." - Conrad Black

Book excerpt: Growing up "middle-class" in a small, rural midwestern town in the fifties and sixties, the most Ed could look forward to was a comfortable, quiet life ensconced from the world at large. But then came a transformational event that would forever change the trajectory of his life and take him on adventures-both inside and out-that he never could have imagined. This is a story in four acts-a small-town baby boomer raised in a troubled blended family; a "mescamorphosis" that would shake Ed from his slumber and take him far outside his comfort zone; an eventual emergence onto the world stage to participate in the creation of "practical magic;" and finally, a period to connect the dots...and create new ones.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's plenty of humor in what the Baby Boom generation's up to now. With a style reminiscent of Andy Rooney and Garrison Keillor, these "Musings" portray a lighthearted view of us now, with a sense of our Boomer roots. Using personal experiences, stories, and a slightly off-beat perspective, the goal is to chronicle the current Boomer Generation in a way that's engaging, humorous and uplifting.With titles like:Marty the Ant StomperThe Alley KingdomI'd Rather Have the Shingles on My RoofSex - The Revolution: We Started It! - Who Won?Catharsis - GesundheitFood and the Shoes I Would Rather Eat The Mouseketeers of Now - andThe Love Letteryou'll discover the focus isn't solely on at the past, since there's no threat that the history or lore of the Boomer Generation will ever disappear. Though, as paintings exposed to time and the elements, there's a danger the vivid colors have faded. This book emphasizes a unique approach, by looking at what's going on with this generation is now. We've never lost the ability to paint the world our way. Still, as we've traveled down our life paths, so much has gotten in the way of the expression of our Boomerism. Is there still time for it to return? In reading these musings, you'll discover that it can come back. Like a good Boomerang.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled to the brim with humor and relatable musings, Roger Loring offers his Baby Boomer perspective on a variety of issues: Passing Laws in Congress: There are over 200 committees in Congress. There are conference committees, interim committees, joint committees, sub-committees, and of course, each chamber has a float and a prom committee. Growing up in Iowa: Parents in other parts of the country get excited when their child first says "mama" or "dada." In Iowa, parental hearts best faster if a child's first word is "corn." And they feel greatly blessed if the child's first word is "ethanol." Social Media: Mark Zuckerberg came up with the idea for Facebook when he was a student at Harvard, proving once and for all that not every student at the prestigious Ivy League college is a dumb jock. Connecting with friends: Instead of texting, older people feel sending a note written in cursive is just fine. While younger people may have a bit of an understanding about sending notes, they have absolutely no understanding of cursive. Viewing a Picasso Painting: Part of the painting shows various female body parts arranged in such a way that the purpose seems to be to just fill up space. It is not an erotic painting in that-unlike a Playmate of the Month centerfold-it is difficult to recognize the various body parts. I could be completely wrong about all of this and it is a painting of Legos. Running a Marathon: When I sit on my porch and walkers come by, I wave and think to myself, better you than me, but when runners come by, I immediately go inside and organize all of my ties by color, width, and type of stains on each.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a multi-faceted career, M.L. (Mike) VanBlaricum has turned his attention to writing poetry and musing on his life as a Baby Boomer. The author is a prototypical Boomer. He was born in 1950 and went off to college to study engineering in the explosive year of 1968. He grew up in small towns in Illinois where he developed a fascination with science, the trombone, nature, and girls. This collection of poems, essays, and musings includes memories and reflections of being a free-range child in the Fifties, a restrained teenager in the Sixties, a college student in the Seventies, and a rambunctious retiree in the Tens. VanBlaricum's accessible writings are laced with wry humor, musical references, and surprise endings. The subject matter ranges from lost loves, the importance of puppy love to the wonderment of real love, what it means to be a Baby Boomer, teenage angst, ruminations on kite-flying and teeter-totters, a fascination with clouds, toads, and moons, and observations and sideways ponderings on natural phenomena. The internal dialogue between engineer and poet bookends this collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a young age, Robert Gross has had a fascination with cars. In "Love, Freedom, And The Art Of Getting There," Gross has found a way to articulate something all men know: that most efforts to achieve freedom in life are inexorably linked to different types of vehicles. This might be a bicycle or skateboard for a young boy, or an expensive computer for an adult. In this eloquent book, the author tells the stories of his life via the different types of objects he used in his quests for freedom.
