Baby Boomer Quotes

Sometimes, the choices we make have devastating consequences

Jeanette Vaughan

I write so that my handful of pebbles, cast daily into still waters, will produce a ripple.

Maybe I have never had the Christmas I remember, since we never remember the event itself but just the last time we revisited the memory. I have woven together a few dozen scraps (the Sears catalog, my father videoing everything we did, Christmas parties and visits with Santa) and pretended they amount to one perfect, cohesive moment, but I am as guilty as baby-boomers, who dictated unconsciously that all the songs they listened to in 1963 would be the timeless Christmas standards of today.
