Boomer Bardo

Baby Boomers are the Largest Generation in US History
Humor, Useful Info, Reflection/Sharing
and Connection with Other Boomers

We Boomers have been a very busy and hard-working generation! Boomer Bardo is a place for information exchange, humor whenever possible, commiseration (got ‘right-sized’ after 20 years of loyalty and team playing!), probably helpful hints and some really useful information, self-development tidbits (for those who still have that go-getter mentality), expressions of lively and thoughtful cynicism and other useful topics. 

Boomer Bardo is (among other things) a place to ask and ponder important Life questions, such as: 

  ~ When you walk up to a group of folks in their 20’s or 30’s and one of them says in a loud whisper, ‘who’s the old dude?’, do you look around for the old geezer?   ~ Why does it seem that only folks in their 20’s, 30’s or early 40’s seem to be getting promotions and/or recognition in the workplace?   ~ Why am I helping to support aging parents and kids (and sometimes grandkids?!). Who will look after me when I’m 64 (and not lucky enough to be Paul McCartney?)  ~ What happened to my dreams of being a rock star (trekking around Europe, moving to India, winning the World Poker Tour or inventing a Pet Rock)?

Check back often – this site is growing/changing daily (just like you!). From time to time – you’ll find funny articles (or at least humorous). Boomers may be nearing retirement age, but we’ve gained wit and some wisdom and perhaps more importantly: some perspective on living.

And - after this generation, retirement will never be the same! (Remember Mick Jagger’s  famous comment on retirement: “I’ll be playing rock n roll when I’m pushing around a walker!”)

So feel welcome to sit a spell, put your feet up and post a comment if you’re so inclined. Suggestions welcome – this is a special Boomer space limited only by the imagination.Anyway – it could all be Quantum****! As you probably know - the whole Quantum event thing could not exist without your viewing it – right? So thanks for your assistance in viewing and creating this site!

** Truckin’ by the Grateful Dead, “American Beauty” Album (1970).
    Sometimes the light’s all shinin’ on me;
    Other times I can barely see.
    Lately it occurs to me: What a long, strange trip it’s been.

*** Are You Experienced? by Jimi Hendrix, “Are You Experienced?” Album (1967).
      Have you ever been experienced? 
      Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful

**** Quantum – A continually changing reality that really does all depend on your point of view.
