Hi, 
You paid us a visit at www.TheBoomerBlog.com, and now we've visited you. Enjoy the breadth of your coverage...and believe we have an affinity. Our angle on boomers is that we are a site for marketers who want to connect with boomers. We do a daily news digest angled with that in mind...plus our marketers' blog. We'd welcome a link and will be happy to link back.
