A Boomer’s Point-of-View: The ONLY Thing I Control is What I Eat for Breakfast
Lately, a lot of things have been going on in my life. And, my ability to influence them – aka control them – is pretty much ZILCH. What a surprise.

A Boomer’s Point-of-View: Time For a Change
I am going through more changes in my life than, perhaps, at any other time. Many of these changes are exciting; many are scary; and some are just sad.
