Back in my day, you could count on one hand the number of women in my Bachelor of Business Administration classes at my alma mater, Ohio State University. We were veritable anomalies in the School of Commerce. And, boy, did we have a rough row to hoe when it came to finding a [...]

From the Pages of Baby Boomer News: Boomer Babes at Work
NBC Goes Strong on Baby Boomers
You may be too busy living your life to notice, but we baby boomers are becoming popular. People are noticing that we’re a generation who refuses to age the way our parents and grandparents did. In fact, we’re waging a war against using the word ‘old’ as a term to define us. And we have [...]
The Feel Good Music
As I sit here and write this post I’m tapping my toe to The Monkees, “Last Train to Clarksville”. Before that it was Neil Diamond and “I Am.. I Said”. These are songs from my early youth that never fail to make me feel good. Songs that once upon a time I [...]
Is it Spring Yet?
Tired of winter? Ready for spring? I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty tired of seeing white stuff fall from the sky. Here in western North Carolina we’ve had one of the coldest winters on record. And it’s included plenty of snow, leaving me pining for the signs of spring.

Retiree or Entrepreneur
Let’s face it, as baby boomers retirement is no longer something we will think about ’someday’. Someday is today. But many retirement plans and investments took a major hit in our recent recession. Boomers face some uncertainty as to whether what remains is going to be sufficient to retire on. Add to that, the fact [...]
