I've been a bad blogger.
I don’t mean in the sense that this blog as a whole is trash; although
that in itself might be a problem. I've been lax and lazy. When
I published my last post the Halloween candy hadn't yet hit the store
shelves. Now the big wide seasonal aisle
in the local super is well stocked with bags of mini candy bars and little
boxes of candies. I've noticed over the
years that the bags of candy keep getting smaller and smaller as do the bars
inside the bags. It used to be that two
or three bags of Snickers might handle the Halloween crowd. Now you need at least six or seven. Well you actually need less than that to feed the little monsters but that wouldn't allow for the proper snacking
between the time you buy the candy and Halloween night.
Baby Boomer: A person born during a baby boom, especially one born in the U.S. between 1946 and 1965. I am a boomer; son of a U.S. soldier and his Italian war bride, back from Europe to make their lives in California. I’ve seen generations of change in culture, society, technology and politics; some good some not. I've witnessed wars both cold and hot. This is my America. A collection of stories, events, nostalgia and commentary, sometimes wry, through the eye of an American Boomer.
