    Difference between a Boomer and Millenial

    Texting is OK for short messages such as 'See you at 10' or 'I got the pizza'. But the young people like to have marathon conversations via text. I text them saying 'Hey, how about we discuss this by phone??'

    Breakfast

    Usually a couple of hard boiled eggs and a sliced apple. Sometimes the apple slices have a little bit of peanut butter on them. A little bit of fat from the peanut butter really makes this breakfast 'stick to your ribs'.
