I Remember JFK

Long before Barack Obama, there was a president that captured the imaginations of Baby Boomers. But this site isn't really about JFK or politics, it's a nostalgic look back to the Baby Boom era, from The Twilight Zone to soda fountains to the introduction of the bikini (scandalous!) to ...well... whatever blogger Ron Enderland wants to remember. It's all about memories, but there's a mailing list if you don't want to remember to come back every week. (RC)

by Marc Freedman
Amazon Price: $12.78
Customer Review: The text seemed more of a hupe to encourage than a source of ideas and location of information on which to build possible sources of employment. The underlying message seemed to be, "buy my wonderful book." As one who has worked across five differen ...
 
Walking on Eggshells: Navigating the Delicate Relationship Between Adult Chil...
by Jane Isay
Amazon Price: $10.08
Customer Review: The book was very light, and while the writer made a few good points, I couldn't help feeling there was no real 'meat' or substance. It was a series of interviews -- the descriptions of the people being interviewed seemed phoney. Overall, I would say...
