    Best Of Boomers Labor Day Edition

    It is hard to believe summer is almost over. Not according to the calendar, but in the daily lives of folks I know.

    Welcome to my new website, Musings of a Shore Life, a work in progress. This venture resulted from issues encountered with my previous blog, which is no longer available. It was time for a fresh start. I look forward to publishing posts about my sane life in the midst of an insane world. Come along for…
