Now that I have your attention-

Today we’re talking about boots.

You guys, did you used to wear Beatle boots?  I know I just had to have them and I made my mom buy me a pair from Liberty House.  Wore them proudly - to elementary school.

What about you girls, go-go boots?  Come on, dish it out.  White or pink?

You know you’re a Baby Boomer if:

• You used to listen to KPOI and the Poi Boys
• You know what AARP stands for
• When someone mentions “Captain Honolulu”, you make the trademark goggles with your hands
• You walked in at least one Walk for Mankind 20 mile walk
• You remember the Lawrence Welk bubbles
• You used to play with “cracker balls” along with your firecrackers.
• Only your rich uncle/auntie had a color TV
• You shopped at Wigwam department stores
• Your parents brushed with Ipana toothpaste and you brushed with Sunstar

What’s your “You know you’re a Baby Boomer if…” list?

If you were born between 1946 and 1964, welcome fellow Baby Boomer.
If you paid 25¢ for a school lunch, please read on.
If you used to wear bell bottoms with sandals, welcome to my pad.
If you were in a social club during intermediate/high school, then let’s dance.

Midlife does not have to be a crisis. It can be a time to reap the rewards of working hard for most of our lives. A time to reconnect with others like us who were busy for the past 20+ years raising a family and providing for a secure future. A chance to look back and to see how far we’ve come.

And you Echo Boomers who might stray over here from Quarterlife Cafe, welcome! We can always use a fresh perspective.
