The Family Day Edition of The Blogging Boomers Carnival

This is the Canadian holiday Family Day – the government’s response to people whining about the long stretch between New Year’s and Easter. I am very happy with their choice of family day. The very first one was on my birthday and it means I always have a long weekend somewhere near my birthday.

Today I’m the proud host of The Blogging Boomers Carnival – the longest-running blog carnival by and for baby boomers. Please visit this week’s posts and join the conversation by leaving a comment or two.

Enjoy!
