I’m baby boomer man who turned 60 in late 2007. Boomer born in 1947 for search engines.
Let me make this clear so other MEN MAN BLOGGERS can find me.
Some politics. Some rants. Mostly attempted humor, usually irreverent.
I have been married to the same woman since 1968.
She’s a boomer blogger too. She writes about her knitting and her knitting group. A wild bunch of boomer women who have way too much fun. They love their S.E.X. trips.
We love dogs, so I started DogsWithCones.com, pictures of dogs with cones. You will say awwww, but chuckle too. My son-in-law had the original concept so we partnered. Read his story of the trials and tribulations of launching the blog.
DogsWithCones.com and AsianWomenHoldingThings.com were both sold.
BBQandBourbon.com is also me (Currently For Sale – $878)

Getting more personal (if you want more details use search box with bold words.)
- I’m a hoser – I use a CPAP
- I wear hearing aids
- I have tinnitus
- I’m overweight or undertall. (Update: shrinking away by design as you read this)
- I also write for Boomspeak.com and other blogs using a pen name.
- I actually made over $3,500 in one month from freelance writing for blogs.
I drew extra inspiration from Roy Klein, feeling much better that there are at least two of us. He wrote about seeing a “little person” and a “sight impaired person” and immediately thought: Seeing-eye Dwarf.
We’re “empathy challenged” or “socially impaired.” And what’s the politically incorrect word again for describing such an individual? That’s right. We’re all insensitive jerks.

Ok, Mark it is official…13 is the new 60!
Hee hee hee. Your kids reading my prose?
blog like crazy, man – not sure how I found you…oh yeah it was through your comments on Techno Marketer – keep up your good work – I ain’t quite 60 but have friends who are LOL – you made me smile
Hi Bob. Glad you found me! I’ll do my best to keep up the pace.
Hey! – thanks for visiting my site. I’ve added you to my Links Blog, but I am still working on things like Blog Rolls.
I turned 60 on January 31st, so don’t worry too much, it is not the end of all things (it’s also not the beginning of anything either – don’t let them fool you with all that crap about starting a new life).
I lost my wife of 15 years last November, and now I have a 36-year old girlfriend in Thailand that I’m going to visit in a couple weeks. Mid-life has me by the balls I guess!

Hey thanks for the link! I like your comment about not being the beginning of anything either!
Thanks for the visit!
Any blogger at or near 60 must be linked, so I’ll take care of it!
Interesting reading here too…I’ll be back!
Well, I’m only 46, but firmly within the Boom, which Wikipedia tells me didn’t end until 1964. Your blog gives me hope for my future, that I won’t end up obsessed with my backaches and Geritol . . . by your lights, 60 is the new 30.
Yeah Gretchen, you can buy into that 60 is the new 30 if you want.
If my blog gives you light, you are in a dark, dark place.
Thanks for commenting, come back often.
Hey, I own a site for 50plus. Is it possible to add a link of our site under your blog? Please feel free to contact me for more information. Many thanks.
Hey – I turn 60 next year. I still choose to work, white water kayak and enjoy my wife of 32 years! The 50’s were a fabulous decade, and I’m expecting the next one to be even better!
Hey Jim, welcome to the asylum. I turn 60 in November. Great attitude!
