The binds are up, and the sun is pouring into the living room. We spend most of our days at home. We walk our dogs in the morning and pour a cup of coffee after we return and sit watching the television. If we need something from the store, we mask up and hurry in and buy whatever it is and return and watch the afternoon news. If we’re lucky, we don’t hear what we fear, but it seems we always do. We’re losing another American to the deadly virus every fifteen seconds. The sun is still shining, and the birds are still flying. The sky is bright blue, and the trees stand tall as the sunshine pulls us through another day of isolation and trying to lose the boomer blues.
Happy Sunshine Day

Hello: I am a writer who directs your attention to life in the 'now'. My most recent masterpiece is Losing the Boomer Blues. This whimsical story is about 3 old friends traveling back in time to lose their boomer blues. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and fell in love with writing at a very early age. I have written many short stories and poems down through the years. I've won awards but more than that I have won the hearts of my readers. I became a member of the Oakland Art Association in the late '90s and devoted many years to creating collage art but never stopped writing. I decided to start writing Losing the Boomer Blues in 2016 and finished writing it in August of 2018. It was with great pride that I self-published it in October of 2018. This charming story appeals not only to my baby boomer counterparts but to those of all ages who find the Summer of Love a quest for peace, freedom, and equality. The struggle for unity will never die. We are the United States. Divided is an impossibility. View more posts
