Trivial Pursuit, the game that launched the trivia craze, is 25 years old. Remember when it came out in 1983? Everyone was playing. It was a love-hate kind of thing - you either loved it or hated it.
I loved Trivial Pursuit - my family hated it, because I would always win. I am a huge […]
Paul Newman died Friday of cancer at the age of 83. It’s hard to imagine this world without Paul Newman in it. He was not only a great movie actor, but he was a humanitarian, a businessman, and, in a culture where people get divorced at the drop of a hat, he was married […]
Baby boomers probably remember a defining moment in Michael Dukakis’s 1988 presidential campaign against George H.W. Bush, when he was captured by a photographer in a tank looking silly. Many political analysts say that moment lost him the election.
John Kerry may have lost his campaign against George Bush in the same way (can you say […]
Just as I remember in detail where I was and what I was doing when I heard about the shooting and death of President Kennedy, I vividly recall much of what I saw, heard, and felt on September 11, 2001.

Memorable moments for me:
Watching the women’s marathon and thinking, “How do they do it?”
Watching the face of […]
A bunch of presidents, mostly Baby Boomers I’m guessing, have called for a discussion on lowering the drinking age to 18 because “the current law isn’t working.”
Are these guys serious? So, the law isn’t working because people who are under 21 are drinking. So, lowering the drinking age to 18 will stop them from drinking? […]
Do you have any albums in the basement or attic? Do you still have a turntable? Well, dust that thing off because it looks like vinyl records are making a comeback. A couple of guys in Los Angeles are making vinyl records again. Just a few, but they are big […]
It is rather ironic that baby boomers are going back into the Peace Corps. Since President Kennedy formed the Peace Corps in 1961, many young people went out into the world to serve as Peace Corps volunteers. Now they’re back!
An ad campaign is encouraging aging Boomers to consider the Peace Corps as a […]
