What a gift life is! It comes ready to open every morning. Each day is totally unique. Each day can be a new adventure. It can be a source of joy, or of sorrow. It all depends on how we approach it. The secret to joyful living is learning to look at life through the eyes of a small child. As a bona fide baby boomer, I have lived a life filled with many joys and some regrets. Today I choose to live life in joy and with a sense of childlike wonderment. This book is a reflection on how to recapture the sense of wonder and joy we were born with. This book is a collection of thoughts, ramblings, and experiences about our special gift of life. Baby Boomer Ramblings offers my thoughts, observations and suggestions, on living life in a more positive and happier way. All of this is wrapped around a poem, or more correctly, a poem wrapped around lifes gifts. Personally, I prefer to live life as a poem. Poetry adds magic to life. Its the minds and hearts way of expressing ones inner voice. That is what this book does. Unlike a textbook of life that one reads and studies, poetry is recited by ones mind and speaks to ones heart and spirit. At the minimum, this book offers some food for thought on how to live in the moment. Learn how to live life with a sense of awe and childlike glee. As a baby boomer who has experienced around two-thirds of my life, Im finally at that stage where Ive finally got it. Read this book and discover how to have contentment and laughter. Become a childlike poet of life and be forever young!

With hardly a nod to chronology, The author moves back and forth through the first twenty years of his life, from trams, horses and valve wirelesses to scooters, cars and rock and roll, boozy coach trips To The seaside, youth clubs and Carnaby Street fashions. The book is about not being very special at a very special time, An ordinary life during extraordinary times, The bombs had finished falling on London some two years before the author was born and so he entered a world where the sky was the limit And The journey was exciting, though cockroaches and smogs had to be dealt with first. Hand built bicycles and soapcarts made way for Vespa's and Lambretta's while grey flannel shorts and long socks lost out to 60's fashions of flairs and tank tops. A camping holiday and holiday camps, boozing and parties, girls And The lack of them, voyeurism, The cold war And The not so cold war, all of these played a part in life and so deserve a mention in the book. One mans life, humourous and unique, no two lives are the same so this one deserves to be told.

Baby Boomers experienced a world growing up that is very different from the one we live in today. Some say it's better, and some say it's worse. We can all agree it's very different. These are humor columns about being a Baby Boomer. Baby Boomers came of age in a time when there were water fountains instead of hydration stations. Our childhood was filled with playing outside. When we were forced to stay inside it was tantamount to being punished. We spoke to people in person and understood body language. There was no cyber world. We all had to learn how to deal with reality. There were no computer games. There were pick-up sports based on who had a baseball, football, basketball or other sports equipment. Playing a game depended on if the sports equipment owners were willing to share. Card games were played with real cards. We camped out without adults, went on bike hikes, swam in creeks and more. Now we're middle age or older. Our bodies are changing, and the world around us continues to make less and less sense. This book is about the many common things experienced by Baby Boomers. Just like the song from the group "The Who", I'm "Talkin' 'bout my generation.

Mercurochrome. JFK. Beatlemania. Vietnam. Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll. These are just some of the memories from the Baby Boom era that are captured in NOW they make it legal: Reflections of an aging Baby Boomer. The book traces the evolution of American culture from the “black and white” 1950s through the turbulent 1960s and into the ‘70s, ending in the 1980s “when we began to turn into our parents.” It tells the history of the Baby Boom generation through the eyes of one of the 80 million people born between 1946 and 1964 – the greatest period of population growth in U.S. history. Baby Boomers grew up during a time of great change in America and had a major impact – in music, politics, pop culture and society at large. This nostalgic and fact-filled collection of stories will entertain those who were there, and educate those who weren’t.

REFLECTIONS OF A BABY BOOMER This book is about how my life as a girl, born after World War II, as part of the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964), has affected my view of life today as an aging Baby Boomer. My generation was full of passion: we changed history, loosened morals, dappled in drugs, fought for civil rights, protested the Vietnam War, saw assassinations of powerful people, changed music from pop to R&B (Motown), just to name a few. These events, though long ago, have impacted our thoughts and views on life today. I speak as one voice, for our aging generation, on various topics that are important or of a concern to us today such as caring for grandchildren, traveling, aging, having sex, staying fit etc. as we continue to be a vital force in this world.

P.J. O'Rourke began writing funny things in 1960s underground newspapers, became editor-in-chief of National Lampoon, then spent 20 years reporting for Rolling Stone and The Atlantic Monthly as the world's only trouble spot humorist, going to wars, riots, rebellions, and other Holidays in Hell in more than 40 countries. Now O'Rourke, born at the peak of the Baby Boom, turns his keen eye on himself and his 75 million accomplices in making America what it is today. With laughter as an analytical tool, he uses his own very average, if sometimes uproarious experiences as a key to his exceptional age cohort. He writes about the way the post-war generation somehow came of age by never quite growing up and created a better society by turning society upside down.THE BABY BOOM: How it Got That Way... And It Wasn't My Fault... And I'll Never Do It Again is at once a social history, a group memoir of collectively impaired memory, a hilarious attempt to understand his generation's messy hilarity, and a celebration of the mess the Baby Boom has made.
