Each of us will share what it was like growing up as Boomers and how we became who they are now.  We all turned out OK ... even though we drank from garden hoses, rode our bikes without helmets, and didn't sit in kiddie car seats. We also talk about the world we live in now. We may sound a bit curmudgeonly, but hey, we have earned that right!  After all, we have gone through a lot and, with all that experience, we can now "see around corners"! Come and listen in to us old-timers.  You may learn something... At the least, you'll get in some laughs and make some new - old friends!Contact us at [email protected] with thoughts, comments and Boomer content you may want us to touch on. Also find us on YouTube.
