The cardinal has landed

I think I'm winning the war against the squirrels (see previous post).

Here is some video of a few minutes in the life of the birdfeeder, with visits from finches and the cardinal.

Yes, waiting for the birds is like waiting for paint to dry. But the end result is worth it.

About Boomer Angst

I started calling the column Boomer Angst in 1988 after the birth of my children Elizabeth in 1984 and David in 1987. Then as now, I used it as a vehicle to write about the generation of Baby Boomers, of whom I am a proud member, having been born in 1953.

I write about trends and issues, as they affect Baby Boomers - retirement, long-term care, encore careers, etc.

I also write about myself. By personalizing my writing, I address issues that involve all of us as parents, as employees, as members of society. I look backwards sometimes in an effort to put my behavior today into some context with my growing up years. I sometimes look forward -- to the uncertainties of retirement and aging. Most often I just look around me to comment on what I see, what I hear, what I experience in the normal flow of day-to-day life.

Leave a comment at right. Let me know what you think.
