Small Business Boomers

As I watched Governor Sarah Palin give her speech Wednesday night at the Republican National Convention, I was reminded of the Samuel Johnson quote about women preachers:
“… a woman’s preaching is like a dog’s walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.”
I’m surprised that anyone is surprised that a woman can give a “pit bull” speech.  Why not?  There are some, both women and men, who don’t like Sarah Palin, hence the “caribou barbie” moniker, and worse.
I for one am thrilled that there are two top-level women in …read more

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.

Check out Not Just the Kitchen and let me know what you think. Should I add it to …read more

Attention all you baby boomer women: April 18-20 is YOUR weekend on Daytona Beach. The Daytona 500 is over, and Bike Week 2008 is jut a memory….
The weekend is advertised as a “Girlfriends Getaway” and it looks like they have quite a lineup of women talking about subjects from menopause to fitness and health to doing business on the Internet. Check out their website:

I recently discovered the National Association of Baby Boomer Women and wanted to let you know about it. It is a membership site, and I haven’t joined yet.
They have online seminars and articles about subjects like finances, health, and dealing with Baby Boomer men. I particularly want to read the article about “Irritable Male Syndrome”
I’d be interested to know if you join and what you think.
