After spending two weeks ‘setting up a blog’ that was supposed to take 20 minutes according to the video, I decided that good enough is good enough.  There were endless high powered decisions that needed to be made.  Themes and fonts and plugins and the COLLAPSE MENU which I shutter to think what it even is but knew enough to avoid despite how temptingly it called.  Boomlennials are tryers after all.  So I gave up on all the rah-rah and decided that content (current buzzword after all) was what is the fascination here.  My son asked if I’m writing as a form of therapy.  Maybe.  Possibly.  But more accurately I get stuck on certain levels of Candy Crush and refuse to buy my way out as a matter of principle so have to come up with another time waster.  You know we have to keep our minds engaged blah blah. So come back often (speaking of wasting time) and I will offer great insight on the inner workings of the Boomlennial and why we should still be celebrated and not just with the drug ads during the news and Sunday morning shows.  Which we of course are not watching because we are training for a marathon.  Maybe.  Possibly.

As a generation, baby boomers were the ‘it’ crowd. We bloated schools, created neighborhoods of cookie cutter houses, and had marketers in our craw before we were even out of our Buster Browns and saddle shoes.  We didn’t need an identity because we had the power and influence whether we wanted it or not.  But scroll through many nondescript generations after us and we’ve finally lost out to the millennials.  The world has changed so dramatically in the last ten years because of new technologies that the Boomers might feel a bit(?) overwhelmed with it all.  But wait!  We want to keep up!  We need to keep up!  And we should have a new witty descriptive title to explain who we are today.  Tada!! That monicker is Boomlennials!  Yes you heard it here first.  (And thank you son-in-law.  Didn’t say we don’t often times ask for help!).  This blog is intended to explain to my three followers who we are now and why we’ve still got it!! You know who you are…..
