Two Women Said I Should Blog This! So I Did. A Guy Said It Too, but I Waited.

Baby Boomer Going Like Sixty Posted on by

If you’re a blogger, the people who know you write, will invariably say “Blog This!” Sometimes with middle finger extended. Other times it is with sincerity and a true effort to provide interesting material.

A.
My daughter has dark chocolate M&M’s every evening. Recently she came across this…

She immediately termed it an Mbryo.

B.
My wife is a great secretary (not personal assistant, she’s retired before it got to that.) When she went to school she learned shorthand, fantastic typing skills, and spells gud. One of the books she bought was this…

The book has been with us for 40 years and remained unopened until I started to blog. It was like new. The spine wasn’t cracked. Now I am lost without it. It’s just 20,000 words. Love that little book. 

C.

Yesterday was the first Slo Rida bike “race.”

The rules are: slowest up the hill, no breaks, no stopping, no feet on the ground.

It’s a bike race I would love, with a trophy I would love more…

Thanks Jay (who knows I am loving Steampunk!)

There. If you want me to “Blog THIS.” Send me something: goinglikesixty(up)gmail(dork)com

  1. I like the M&M terminology, and love the book, as I love any oldstyle book like that. I wish I had some of the health and menstruation texts they handed out in the ’60s. Pure comedy gold, today.

    I think I use the Webster’s online thesaurus when I’m in need of one, which isn’t often. One thing you pick up as an English major is a zillion words no one knows or cares to know.

  2. @Gretchen: “oldstyle” I guess I’m going to have to get used the that. Today we were taking about Indy (duh) – and I referred to back on the fifties!!! OMG, I attended Indy in the FIFTIES!

  3. Yeah, such are the wonders of old age. Some of my mommy blogger friends and I were talking about the Beatles the other day, and I mentioned one of my younger online mommy friends saying “Oh yeah, the Beatles. I think my grandfather used to listen to them.” I might as well have told her I enjoyed vaudeville.

    I was lucky enough to have missed the fifties. I do believe Eisenhower put the country collectively to sleep, and I’m glad I didn’t come along until things woke up a bit.
