The Baby Boomer Gift of Teamwork in Entertainment
We boomers sure saw some good entertainment when we were kids. But just how easily did it come to us? As Perry Block writes, we were the beneficiaries of formulas in teamwork that we probably didn’t appreciate at the time. And maybe not even today.
So, Let’s Go Phils!!!
Do you remember the teams you rooted for as a kid? Perry Block does, and today can’t believe his good fortune: what once was the worst team in baseball has been leading the parade. But now he has to deal with it. What Perry wonders is, Do I Deserve The Phillies?

All of us baby boomers have been around long enough that there probably are a few “do-overs” we’d like to … well, to do over. Writer Perry Block has found a way to think about it that justifies every do-ever you do over. He calls it, Taking a Mulligan at Life.

A Fun Fond Farewell to the Fifties
Ozzie and Harriet, Zorro, Speedy Alka-Seltzer. Just reading these names and so many others from the 1950s, we feel pretty nostalgic for the salad days of our youth. Perry Block felt the same way, and went to the trouble of writing a fun Fond Farewell to the Fifties.
I Owe It All to Jack Benny
We are sooooo lucky.

No, we had real role models, even legitimate heroes, and humor writer Perry Block takes us down memory lane with them.

Have you noticed the creature that stands in front of you whenever you have your picture taken, or primp in front of the bathroom mirror? Perry Block has. And he has learned that this creature only stalks baby boomers. He wrote about it for his blog Nouveau Old, Formerly Cute, and now shares what he’s learned with BoomerCafé.
