Musings of a Baby Boomer Kay Hoflander

Join Kay Hoflander on an honest, humorous, and refreshing look back on the experiences of a unique generation and the challenges of aging digital. This humorous and whimsical approach brings to mind the writings of Erma Bombeck.

Musings of a Baby Boomer: Beyond X, Y, Z is a collection of selected shorts from Hoflander's weekly newspaper column "Full Circle," featuring sometimes funny and sometimes philosophical stories with a continuous theme: the reluctant, but generally happy, aging of the Baby Boomer generation.


In this collection, Hoflander tells stories about everything from frogs taking over her pond to her grandchildren's Harry Potter obsession. She reflects on the simpler times of her childhood and addresses present-day changes to which, as a baby boomer, she adapts: memory loss, evolving technology, and politics. Through it all, she uses humor and wit to remind readers not to take life too seriously--and to focus on the things that really matter.
