Baby Boomers: The Largest Generation in US History
Baby Boomers have been a very busy and hard-working generation! Boomer Bardo is a place for information exchange, humor whenever possible, commiseration (i.e., got ‘right-sized’ after 20 years of loyalty and team playing!), possiby 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 whatever else occurs.
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)?
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!”)
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!

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
