Your Guide to Boomer Stories

This seems like as good a time as any to start the book that I’ve been threatening to write for over twenty years. At first it was going to be about being employed by The Milo Corporation, the most infamous place I’ve ever worked. Then it was going to be about four girls in the 70s and their loves, drugs and one-nighters. (Think Sex and the City set in the decadence of the late seventies with a Midwest slant.) I also started to write about “The Italian Archetype”, a humorous look at growing up third generation Italian and discovering our differences from white bread America.

Bits and pieces of all the above topics will be found in this blog. “Boomer Stories” is an amusing, sometimes sad, sometimes pitiful, sometimes prophetic, always loving, tales from my life and how I remember them. I hope it sparks some of your own memories and if you’re not a boomer, I hope it helps you understand where we came from.
