Why would anyone want to read the rants and raves of an aging, over-the-hill baby boomer? Why??? Well, maybe no one does, but it doesn't matter. This gal may have something of value to say or she may not, but she still is current enough to update her status to "boomster" and, hopefully, will give an interesting perception on the current generation, society and world in which she lives.

Case in point -- Don't you just loathe anyone who refers to her/himself
in the third person?

For my first post, I'll give just a bit of a bio background... Born and raised on the wrong side of the Hudson -- at least back then -- now trendy and hip -- Hoboken/Jersey City/Weehawken just a quick ride by Ferry or the Path to Manhattan for the up-and-coming professional ... aka: Sex and the City once removed.

I digress. Back to the bio...

First job: Took a bite of the Apple.
Music of the Day: Dylan, Biaz, the Beatles, Stones, and Jefferson Airplane.
Experiences: Broadway, The Village, Central Park, uptown/downtown concerts, museums, San Gennaro fest.
Influences: JFK, Vietnam, hippies, free love, changing the world.
My Generation: basking in idealism, altruism, dreams of the future ... Hokey huh!

Enough of the past. Enough for a first post. This is just the appetizer, not the whole meal.

Bye for now, hyperspace, until we meet again... I leave now with one thought ...

Major players of my generation are primarily responsible for the society we live in today. Idealism? Altruism? Somehow yesterday's dreams dissolved into today's nightmares.
