I’m A Baby Boomer!

Recently I learned that I am a Baby Boomer!  I couldn’t believe it!  All these  years, I thought I was too young to be in that generation.  But according to Wikipedia, Baby boomers were those born between the 1940’s – 1960’s…namely 1946-1960.  I was born in 1960, so I just slipped under the wire!  Whew!  [...]
