RE-CYCLING MYSELF
By: Pam Vanden Bos
Squealing, "Yes-Yes-Yes," I toss the phone on the bed and dance a little boogie around my room. My son just invited me to ride with his cycling team at the LiveStrong Challenge in Austin, Texas.

Before long, I began to panic. Why did I say yes? Have I lost my ever-loving mind? Then my mocking inner-voice gets down and dirty. "How can a big-boned Baby Boomer living quietly in the deep-south get into shape for a 40 mile bike ride?"

THE SPACE EXPLORERS
The Classic Cartoon
By: Chuck Scholtz
www.thespaceexplorers.com
It's rare when a lost classic cartoon is rediscovered after 50 years in some old film archives. A new website TheSpaceExplorers.com was recently made to share the rediscovery with Baby-boomers. If you were a kid growing up in the middle of the 1950 - 1960's "Space Race" era, you had the pleasure and privilege to watch the myriad of space cartoons being broadcast on the air. Each morning, shows like Captain Satellite, Captain Kangaroo, Captain Video, Sheriff John, and even Romper Room with "Miss Connie" showed cartoons like: Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, Space Patrol, Fireball XL-5, Ultra Man, Rocket Man, Commando Cody, and the subject of this article... "The Space Explorers".

 Candy Store to Prescription Counter By Carol Kehlmeier As young children we would see friends at the neighborhood candy store. We would stand and look into the shiny glass case, breathe in the fragrance of cinnamon and peppermint and help each other decide how to spend our pennies. Should we buy bubble gum or licorice? We would leave the store together chatting about the new little boy down the street or the upcoming spelling test. |
