An honest, humorous, and refreshing look back on the experiences of a unique generation and the challenges of growing older in the digital age. Musings of a Baby Boomer: Life Before X, Y, and Z is a collection of selected shorts from Hoflander’s weekly newspaper column “Full Circle,” featuring sometimes funny and sometimes philosophical stories with a continuous theme: the reluctant, but generally happy, aging of the Baby Boomer generation. In this collection, Hoflander tells stories about everything from yard flamingos and college move-in day to battling internet bots. She reflects on the simpler times of her childhood and addresses present-day changes to which, as a baby boomer, she adapts: memory loss, evolving technology, and politics. Through it all, she uses humor and wit to remind readers not to take life too seriously—and to focus on the things that really matter. “This book entails family, friends, and wisdom from the perspective of the baby boomer generation! A great read for all! Delightful.” —Teresa Parson, First Lady of Missouri “America needs healing, and instead of destroying our history, perhaps musings from those who have been part of history can provide a way forward. That is what Kay Hoflander's book offers.” —Lieutenant Colonel Allen B. West (US Army, Retired), Member, 112th U.S. Congress, Former Chairman, Republican Party of Texas “Hoflander has the magical skills to hit upon daily life with humor and understanding . . . For younger readers, this book just may help you better understand your parents or grandparents. It is a book for all generations to enjoy.” —Suzanne Skelly, University of Missouri Graduate Educator, Realtor, Genealogist and life-long Bibliophile

After a multi-faceted career, M.L. (Mike) VanBlaricum has turned his attention to writing poetry and musing on his life as a Baby Boomer. The author is a prototypical Boomer. He was born in 1950 and went off to college to study engineering in the explosive year of 1968. He grew up in small towns in Illinois where he developed a fascination with science, the trombone, nature, and girls. This collection of poems, essays, and musings includes memories and reflections of being a free-range child in the Fifties, a restrained teenager in the Sixties, a college student in the Seventies, and a rambunctious retiree in the Tens. VanBlaricum's accessible writings are laced with wry humor, musical references, and surprise endings. The subject matter ranges from lost loves, the importance of puppy love to the wonderment of real love, what it means to be a Baby Boomer, teenage angst, ruminations on kite-flying and teeter-totters, a fascination with clouds, toads, and moons, and observations and sideways ponderings on natural phenomena. The internal dialogue between engineer and poet bookends this collection.
Capitalizing on what is arguably the most important social phenomenon of our time and place—the aging of America—this book shows organizations how to market specifically to baby boomers in their third act of life. The graying of America is undeniable, with an estimated 10,000 boomers turning 65 every day. But to dismiss the baby boomer generation as a group no longer worth marketing to would be foolish. According to the Census Bureau, in 2029—the year when the last boomer will have turned 65—there will still be more than 61 million boomers, roughly 17 percent of the projected population of the United States. Boomers will still be the wealthiest generation in the United States until at least 2030, according to the Deloitte Center for Financial Services, with their share of net household wealth to peak at 50.2 percent by 2020. Boomers 3.0: Marketing to Baby Boomers in Their Third Act of Life describes how to market to baby boomers from a cultural perspective, specifically addressing the demographic group of baby boomers in their later adulthood—a period that will continue for the next two to three decades. The author uses the term "3.0" to indicate the baby boomers' third phase of life and explains how this third act of life will differ from earlier periods; accordingly, organizations should take a different approach to marketing to them than in the past. This book offers a way to contextualize business objectives within a culturally based, forward-thinking framework that fully leverages the opportunities presented by what is perhaps the biggest and most affluent customer base in history. Readers will be able to use the strategies described to map territories to stake and mine in targeting boomers, create meaningful relationships with individuals in this group, and communicate effectively with boomers to offer them products and services.
My morning musings started at least five or six years ago. They have been a treat, and they have given me such wonderful answers to what’s going on in the world and why bad things happen. But as I feel such terror about tomorrow, I also believe that since we are in the hand of she/he who made us (my God), God may actually have set up this worldwide scenario to remind us what we already possibly know—that there must be a God, since without any knowledge or investigation, poor Adam and Eve (or their other cultural variations [see other cultures creation stories]) began their supposed singular life on this earth with the gift of two baby boys, Cain and Abel.
The birth of this book, “100 Creative Musings by Various poets” is a result of various contributions by aspiring poets. Writing Poetry is not like a regular story, novel or literature. It is a genre by itself, using varied poetic devices, conventions to suggest differential interpretations of words, or to evoke emotional responses among its readers. For a poet in their journey, appreciation of the words they write, convey a message about elements in their daily life or a general viewpoint. It is the greatest milestone when our poem is appreciated well. We, poets are on this journey, we can never claim we are well established. Only our followers can credit our good or moderate poems in our writing.

There are moments in the Halls of Antiquities or Images that come and go, but the Hieroglyphics scattered in the firing of the Neurons in our DNA just begin when they're recognizable in our Conscious thoughts, bearing those properties of Reflections. Human consciousness is just one of many Gestalts on the palettes of the multitudinous images we conceive during our shared glimpses of Mother Nature that surround us all of the time. Herein lies a few of my extrapolations to that decree. On with the show then, this it it, No More Researching and Nursing of Parts. You cannot then, Petition the " Steven " with prayer, just hope whatever you get all over yourself before you finish, some or all of it will Settle the Score.
We all are prone to reflect on our life expereinces. sometimes they are the spiritual things that have impacted our lives and at other times they are simply the thoughts that brought us joy and happiness. In my short book I have written down some of the reflections and musings which are unique to me but at the same time are common to many and readers will soon have their own musings and recollections stirred.
On a lazy vacation or travel, when one wants to read an enjoyable light literature, then Coconut Country Musings is the right pick. It is a collection of short stories, ruminations of a random wanderer and dateless notes on life’s tipping points. Through the pages, we meet many familiar characters, the way they talk, think and act. As someone commented, “Many of us think of writing these stories from life but never get around to doing it.” Do you like reading an amusing letter from a friend? Then Coconut Country Musings will compel you to read the stories more than once. The writer sits next to you and entertains with his dramatic descriptions. He will engage you in a conversation that will take you through nature, make you feel and smell its salubrious ambience. And there are memories of a familiar childhood and episodes of youthful adventures. You may face surprises, accidental meetings and a few sagacious axioms that would pep you up. If the reader lived in the last three decades of the last century in India, then you can relate with the writer. If you are a millennial kid, you meet an uncle who lived in that sliver of land in the south of India, Kerala – the Coconut Country.
