On this Day-Make History
Thinking of December sixteenths in history – I can pinpoint two extraordinary anniversaries that still impact our topsy-turvy world… Brewer patriots had their Boston Tea Party in 1773. We know what those rebel yells led to! The Battle of the Bulge began on this date in 1944 around the quaint town of Bastogne, Belgium. When…

Unbroken!
Right you are, KABOOMERS. I’m following our last Right Stuff tribute to Chuck Yeager with this accolade for another larger than life hero – Louis “Unbroken” Zamperini. Both Louis and Chuck were flyboys in World War II. Both inspired many on their stamininety journeys until each slipped the “surly bonds of earth” for the last…

KABOOMERs in our new Age of Aquarius
What Boomer doesn’t seek a feel-good boost these pandemic days? As we might recall, the Simpsons did: https://media.giphy.com/media/3o6MbtkwAL960whxx6/giphy-downsized.gif And, so did that wonderful -70s group – the 5th Dimension with lyrical “Golden living dreams of visions”! As one who peeks at the Heavens and who occasionally clicks on astrology weblinks, I offer this rare occurrence…

Avoid Holiday Pain & #Covidiots
Greetings, KABOOMERs as we embark on our 12th-month adventure of 2020!? From this mustached guy, adieu MOVEMBER. From this donor – THANKS to ALL who gave some time, talent, and/or treasure for # Giving Tuesday. If we were to believe some of the Holiday hype we are besieged by – “It’s the Most Wonderful Time…

300 – Part 2
Yesterday’s “300” weblog highlighted ways to emulate Spartans’ RESPECT and HONOR in order to help us weather this pandemic – together. Today’s Part 2 for the number 300 is about a KABOOMER’s daily energy equation to favorably impact her or his Physical Bank Account: Estimated Calorie Requirements (in kilocalories) for Each Gender and Age Group…

300
I don’t know what percentage of KABOOMERs are ancient history buffs. Without date-checking, I’d guess that my title line is about twenty-five centuries-old; a “300” from the Greco-Persian wars and specifically citing King Leonidas of Sparta’s city-state. A rather violent, yet epic, movie was released 15 years ago about Spartan studliness (in both genders) and…

MOVEMBER and Diabetes Awareness Month
The time she flies, even in lockdown Pandemic periods like this. But first – think about those Millions of Military Veterans – past, present and future, who help make America what it is -> The Land of the Free guarded by our BRAVE! November is a fine month for Health Awareness and personal action steps.…

Relish Roller-coaster Rides
Okay, that title may not be your amusement park thrill – at first blush. Bear with me as I encourage you to strap in, tighten your core, and experience natural “Gs” rather than political gravity. Wait, wait, for some entertaining Highs and Lows on this wild ride. Those are a classic Lirty Dies parody from…

How ‘Bout them Apples?
We just returned from an Apple Hill visit with bags of “local” organic apples. I found a new snacking favorite – the Arkansas Black treat! Them Apples 😊 got me thinking and blogging about the health and wellness benefits of these symbolic and tasty fruits. Sure, you might have an occasional “bad apple”, or tried…

Pleasure, Pain…Emotion, Logic
I hope that Judge Judy had a nice birthday yesterday! I’ve never watched her show, yet her followers number more than mine :). Her calendar years “DQ” her from being a bonafide KABOOMER, as she is now 78, like a former VP that is in the limelight these days. So, today is Day # 296…
