Overview

"Filled to the brim with humor and relatable musings, Roger Loring offers his Baby Boomer perspective on a variety of issues: Passing Laws in Congress: There are over 200 committees in Congress. There are conference committees, interim committees, joint committees, sub-committees, and of course, each chamber has a float and a prom committee. Growing up in Iowa: Parents in other parts of the country get excited when their child first says ""mama"" or ""dada."" In Iowa, parental hearts best faster if a child's first word is ""corn."" And they feel greatly blessed if the child's first word is ""ethanol."" Social Media: Mark Zuckerberg came up with the idea for Facebook when he was a student at Harvard, proving once and for all that not every student at the prestigious Ivy League college is a dumb jock. Connecting with friends: Instead of texting, older people feel sending a note written in cursive is just fine. While younger people may have a bit of an understanding about sending notes, they have absolutely no understanding of cursive. Viewing a Picasso Painting: Part of the painting shows various female body parts arranged in such a way that the purpose seems to be to just fill up space. It is not an erotic painting in that-unlike a Playmate of the Month centerfold-it is difficult to recognize the various body parts. I could be completely wrong about all of this and it is a painting of Legos. Running a Marathon: When I sit on my porch and walkers come by, I wave and think to myself, better you than me, but when runners come by, I immediately go inside and organize all of my ties by color, width, and type of stains on each."
