What is a baby boomer? People born between (and including) 1946 and 1964. After American soldiers returned home from World War II in1946, the United States experienced an explosion of births (hence the name baby boom) that continued for the next 18 years, when the birth rate began to drop. In 1964, baby boomers represented 40% of the population, which means that more than one third of the population was under 19 years of age. In the 1990s, approximately 76 million people in the United States were born in the baby boom years, representing approximately 29% of the country's population. Since baby boomers make up such a sizable portion of the consuming public, their spending habits and lifestyles have a powerful influence on the economy.

I was going through some things and came across these pictures. A couple of weeks ago I made a video about my best ever Christmas and the Red Bike I got. I found a picture of it. This was during my “husky” period.
I think these were in 1965. Our home in Georgia.

The problems with my PC #1 are causing me to make some changes. I went to CompUSA today and purchased a new HP w1907 19″ Flat Screen Monitor for the PC #2. I love the bigger screen (easier for my eyes to see) and the space saved on the desk. I pulled out PC #1 [...]
Above is a zoho.com shared spreadsheet. It contains my heartrate numbers for this weeks workouts. The setup from Monday to Friday changed as I started collecting more information. The couple of observations I have made so far is that the heartrate numbers usually track with my preceived exertion, except for Monday and Friday. [...]
Another great workout this morning. Debbie had to go in at 8A so I left at the same time for the gym. I really utilized my heart monitor as a tool to keep me going. I had to keep going because I wanted to fill out my chart of my peak heart rate during certain [...]
I felt really energized this morning during my workout. Debbie had to be at work at 7 so I left when she did and started my workout at 7A. I kicked my swings up to 11 rather than 10. Used my heartrate monitor. I am working on developing a spreadsheet that collects some [...]
Started off the day with my workout. Got to the gym at about 8:30A. Only a few people at the gym, however, by the time I left, around 10A, things were starting to pick up.
Had a new exercise today using the Paramont Functional Trainer. Squats to a single arm row. I can tell that [...]
Yesterday I picked up a Polar FS1 Heart Monitor at Dicks Sporting Goods. I got the most basic model on sale for $53.98 plus $3.37 tax, total $57.35. I used it during my workout this morning and I really like it so far. It’s nice having that constant feedback of your heartrate. One of the [...]

Completed my Friday workout. Always a challenge on Friday but I got it done. I worked on actually taking my time on the Kettlebell squats and cleans this morning. I came to the conclusion that I was rushing myself to complete them. I tried to relax and do the clean and hold it [...]
