Boomer Bits and Bytes: Takeaways from My 50th High School Class Reunion
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2014/08/takeaways-from-my-50th-high-school.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, August 29, 2014. Takeaways from My 50th High School Class Reunion. Though it was July, there were a few students walking through the beautiful campus. Most had their faces turned down, peering into the display of some gadget they held in their hands, while thumbs or fingers pressed or poked at a furious pace. What were these students actually doing? Connect with H L:. Web Site and Blog. What a great post, Henry! August 29, 2014 at 9:45 AM. Gunsmoke -...

Boomer Bits and Bytes: Bergamot’s Lavender Essence (The Power of Ideas)
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2014/07/bergamots-lavender-essence-power-of.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, July 25, 2014. Bergamot’s Lavender Essence (The Power of Ideas). This morning I sip black tea “kissed with bergamot’s lavender essence.” Ahhh.and just what is that essence? Google describes an aromatic oil found in bergamot orange peelings. The Bergamot, an Italian citrus tree, produces this substance used to flavor food and prepare essential oils and skin care products. It really matters not—just away. Into our décor, but at least I finally. I did i...

Boomer Bits and Bytes: Social Media and Polite Society, The Connection You May Have Missed
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2012/08/social-media-and-polite-society.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Monday, August 20, 2012. Social Media and Polite Society, The Connection You May Have Missed. Social media is a return to a simpler age. I can see the skepticism on your faces from here, but bear with me. I think you’ll see the connection. If someone says something nice about you, thank them. When someone does something nice for you, do something nice for them. Always put others before yourself. It was a Do unto others as you would have the do unto you.

Boomer Bits and Bytes: Baby Boomer Novels: A New Genre, the Next Phenomenon in Publishing
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2013/02/baby-boomer-novels-new-genre-next.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, February 22, 2013. Baby Boomer Novels: A New Genre, the Next Phenomenon in Publishing. A new genre is born, a pendant to Young Adult (YA) literature, with one difference: Baby Boomer novels (BB novels) address "coming of old age" issues just as YA novels are concerned with coming of age. Or The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Have all been smashing successes. A thread was started in September 2012 in the Kindle Fora for authors to list their BB titles an...

Boomer Bits and Bytes: I’m a Glutton for Punishment!
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2014/06/im-glutton-for-punishment.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, June 27, 2014. I’m a Glutton for Punishment! Why do I sit and watch Jeopardy? I don’t know any of the answers. I marvel at people who can spout out the most extreme trivia before I can read the clue. By the time the show is over, I feel like an uneducated bloke. And then there are crossword puzzles. I absolutely love them! Do I love being frustrated? Am I excited to discover how little I know? Let me tell you about determination! It doesn’t mat...

Boomer Bits and Bytes: RIDING THE ROLLERCOASTER
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2013/05/riding-rollercoaster.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, May 10, 2013. I’m not a boomer—too old—and I do not write boomer lit. I write intrigue and action-filled page-turners. True, some of my recurring characters are almost as old as I am, and in The Rosen Singularity. A work that walks a wobbly line between literary fiction and thriller, some of the players are much older than any human being has a right to be. (To fully understand that throwaway line, you will just have to read the book.). And is now be...

Boomer Bits and Bytes: Tales of A Texting Virgin
http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2014/11/tales-of-texting-virgin.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, November 7, 2014. Tales of A Texting Virgin. Two measly years ago, these typing fingers were pure. My wife would say, “You should learn to text? I would hold up my fingers. “These are texting virgins.”. Someone would text me. I’d read the message then ignore the sender. You’re not going to sucker me into sullying these digits. Oh, such pride! I would fight the advance of the Evil Empire—technology. Where’s my “Long live King Ludd! We added unlimited ...

Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, September 26, 2014. I’ve known TJ Whalen since 1967 when we were on the pre-commissioning unit for the USS Lapon. We were both Machinist’s Mates second class at the time. He was an auxiliaryman and I was a nuke. At sea we shared the lower level of machinery room #2; he nursed #2 O2 generator and I monitored the water inventories of the steam generators. We accomplished none of the above. Yes, our commanding officer was that way. Every man was exp...

Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, September 5, 2014. From kindergarten through high school I only cut school once. On March 3, 1958, my fifteenth birthday, I awoke at 6:30 unwilling to face the long walk to the bus stop, the ride to the Forest Hills subway station, and the twenty-three stops on the GG train to Brooklyn. I told my mother I had a terrible stomach ache and went back to sleep. Justifiably suspicious, she insisted on taking me to Doctor Lamb, my old pediatrician. From the...

http://geezerguysandgals.blogspot.com/2014/08/whats-in-name.html
Boomer Bits and Bytes. The View from Our Side. Friday, August 15, 2014. What’s In a Name? Sherry Carter's first bible study "Storms of Life" won the Award of Excellence in Christian Literature at the 2007 Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference. For several years, she worked as an engineer in NASA’s Shuttle Program. After a series of agonizing crises, culminating in a layoff, God brought about an abrupt career change: Sherry, the engineer, became Sherry the Christian author. Mother, father, nam...
