WELCOME TO Generation BOOMER

For the past few editions, we’ve been talking about boomers joining the ranks of people looking for employment opportunity in this tough economy. In this edition of Generation Boomer we look at what some boomers can do to find employment, jobs that pay good wages, and reasons why people are finding it harder to retire than they did just a year ago. Many are going online to find job resources, even though some of us are discovering we really are technologically challenged. Yet there is also new recognition that as the population ages, there will be different opportunities where previously doors were open to only youthful age groups.

In the Good Tastes section, Generation Boomer explores new wines from forgotten grapes. Carolyn Prusa makes recommendations on vintages grown in various regions of Spain, while Dave Preston talks about Fume v. Sauvignon. Preston is also spreading word about the good life with television programs featuring food, wine, and great places to dine.

 

On our latest excursion we visit Dubrovnik, the most picturesque city on the Dalmatian coast. Rich vegetation on rolling hills, Dubrovnik is a mix of old world culture and history. It has been called paradise on earth as George Bernard Shaw once noted. Closer to home, Eydie Scher makes her own personal observation of paradise in Nevada we know as Lake Tahoe. Eydie takes a tour of some of the more notable homes on the North Lake Tahoe Historical Association’s Annual Home Tour to be held later this year.

Some of our writers:

Anne Vargas, Wendy Simons, Eydie Scher, Steve Funk, Connie McMullen, LuAnne Steininger, Bobbi Lazzarone, Carolyn Prusa, George J. McAlpine, DDS, and Dave Preston.

Finally we live vicariously through Chef Joe who is treated to a special ride in a fire truck down Beverly Hills most notorious main thoroughfare. He manages to make himself a hero with the grandchildren, and in doing so experiences the joy of being a child. Speaking of children, most of us grew up watching cartoons. Remember Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and the Looney Tunes series? Steven Funk takes a stroll down memory lane you too will enjoy. And as the saying goes from one of our old friends - That’s All Folks!
