He’s a little too old (age 67) to be a Baby Boomer, but Olympic athlete Hiroshi Hoketsu has a great story to tell, as he returns to Olympic competition in Beijing after 44 years.
Hoketsu competed in 1964 in dressage, then got busy with work. It was only when he retired that he […]
One interesting article I saw on Not Just the Kitchen was about how you can pump gas and save money. Apparently, people are pumping gas, as I do, by putting the nozzle up to max, and standing back and letting the tank fill. I always figured it didn’t matter, and it beats […]
Natasha commented recently on my post on a website for baby boomer women. She had a better website, called “Not Just the Kitchen,” which is free. So of course I had to check it out.
