ABC WEDNESDAY "Z" is for "zoomer"


A new word for me, and possibly for you. I'm always at a loss for Z words.

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines 'zoomer' as:  a baby boomer (born between 1946-1964) who is energetic and adventurous in retirement, who rejects traditional, passive stereotypes associated with aging and retirement. —David J. Demko, PhD, www.demko.com/zoomers.htm, 1998

So I am one.  Are you?  That's me in the brown trousers and black top on the step on the left during my last trip to India in 2013.  Getting itchy to go again.

See other Zs on Mrs. Nesbitt's ABC WEDNESDAY.

GRAZING RAM

 On my weekend trip recently, my friends' rural garden was invaded by a flock of sheep and a couple of rams.  Chomp, chomp.
