Lyn Slater is a retired professor at Fordham University in New York, a former social worker, model, fashion icon, writer, social media influencer, and advocate for positive aging.

Is It Still Good For You?
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis

Are you still enjoying the internet? Does it still excite you the way it once did or has it become a chore, an onerous and exhausting exercise you devote countless hours to simply because it’s there demanding attention? Do you mourn those wasted hours on Instagram and Facebook absorbing useless information and following vague threads to a questionable end? I signed on to Substack last... Read More ..read more

Further Reflections on Friendship
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis
2w ago
Neil Sedaka was right. Any kind of breaking up is aways hard to do. By the time boomers reach retirement age, most of us have experienced at least one painful breakup. Many of us are veterans of multiple breakups. When it happens, we feel like we will never recover but inevitably we do. We put ourselves back together and often find someone else to love....

When I read three books in a row by the same author, then you can be assured I love her writing. After reading and reviewing her two diary-styled non-fiction books a couple of weeks ago (Went to London, Took The Dog and Love, Nina) I went looking for other books by Nina Stibbe and came upon the fictional One Day I Shall Astonish The World....

How To Manage That Nasty Menopause Middle
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis
1M ago
Not all of us get it but most of us do—that extra layer of fat distribution around the middle that accompanies menopause and turns our body from a feminine hourglass shape into a rectangle (me!), a pear, or an apple.  In my youth, when I was slim, I naively thought it would never happen to me but it did and I’ve been fighting a losing...

Bridget Jones Is Not The Only Fun Diary To Peek Into
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis
1M ago
Bridget Jones’s Diary by Helen Fielding is one of the few diaries I’ve had the opportunity to peek into (even though it was fictional), but reading the inside story of other people’s lives is probably why I enjoy memoirs and biographies so much. I’ve just finished reading Went To London, Took The Dog: The Diary of a 60-Year-Old Runaway by British writer Nina Stibbe. While... Read More ..read more

Boomers Remember With A Little Help From Our Friends
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis
1M ago
Get a bunch of old boomers together and you will notice we are frequently called upon to complete each other’s sentences. Not only is it because we’re that in tune with one another but more importantly, we either can’t remember what we wanted to say, or we can’t remember an important name/fact/movie title/song relevant to the conversation. It’s like we have gaping moth holes in... Read More ..read more

Whether he’s ranting on CBC’s Rick Mercer Report, entertaining on This Hour Has 22 Minutes or otherwise sharing his informed opinions on politics and contemporary Canadian lifestyle, Rick Mercer is a national treasure. Before retiring from his RMR show, I doubt I missed an episode in the fifteen seasons his show was on the air. Mercer’s newest book The Road Years is an homage to all those years...

Reacher Definitely Reaches This Boomer’s Sweet Spot
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis

“Men want to be him and women want to be with him.”. That’s how New York Times writer Elizabeth Vincentelli described the Jack Reacher character played by Alan Ritchson on the new Reacher series streaming on Amazon Prime Video. She also described him as a giant tenderized side of beef. This should give you a pretty good idea of why the action series based on... Read More ..read more

I Finally Found Something To Like About Chemistry
BOOMERBROADCAST
by Lynda Davis
2M ago
When I read Bonnie Garmus’s New York Times’ best-selling debut novel Lessons In Chemistry, it reminded me of the old Monty Python phrase, And now for something completely different. The story begins in the 1950s and it reads a bit like an old-timey television show. The plot eventually evolves into a chemistry-themed television cooking show, but getting there takes some time. Elizabeth Zott is a highly motivated,... Read More ..read more
