I’m reading a book, and my wife is doing cross-stitch. At the same time we are solving the problems of the world. 😉 At 8:30 we’ll watch a British Mystery, and then head off to bed!

Hey Boomers 👋 If you’re reading this, you’re part of something special. This community is a unique mix of two worlds: 1. Long-time viewers and subscribers from the What’s Up Boomer YouTube channel… 2. …and new friends from the Skool platform, curious about what’s possible in this next season of life. While everyone’s path here is different, two core passions are pulling us together: ✅ Exploring the journey of creating a YouTube channel (yes, now is a perfect time to start — no matter your age) ✅ Making the most of how life has turned out — especially in this “retired, but not done yet” phase This is a space for honest conversation, creativity, trying new things, and finally doing the stuff you said you’d do once you had the time. There are no silly questions. No wrong starting points. Whether you’re hitting upload for the first time or just want deeper purpose in your days, you belong here. Over the coming weeks, we’ll be adding more ways to connect, learn, and support each other. For now, jump in and introduce yourself with a twist: 👉 What’s one thing you always thought you’d do in retirement but haven’t yet? Or 👉 What's one thing that was unexpected once hitting your retirement age? Let’s start dreaming out loud — and maybe doing something about it. Welcome 💛

I've been struggling to get things out and posted recently. I've hit what a writer would call writer's block. So I've been challenged by one of my mentors to post something. Anything, even if it's stupid or silly. Well, I have something I have had finished for over a month now that I just couldn't pull the trigger on. That is until today. So I wanted to share here as well the video that is going to get me started again (I hope). Hope you enjoy it.

I’m spending some time this evening thinking about how i spent my time in 2025, and as a result how i might want to spend it in 2026. I like writing better than typing, because it slows down the process and i can think a little more while writing. (I got a new pen today which heightens the motivation a little, being a pen aficionado.) So i have an initial list. It will definitely change. Some things will move up to the top in importance, others will move down, some will be added. I’m asking God for wisdom as i write. How do you guys approach a new year?

Happy New Year everyone 🥳 Remember when we used to say we're going to party like it's 1999? What would that look like today? Partying like it's 1999?
