Announcing a new feature on the Baby Boomer Homepage, a weekly humor column, by Dan Sherman, A Boomer with Attitude. (Who among us does not have attitude, I wonder?) We'll provide a new article from Dan every Tuesday or Wednesday. We really liked what we've read so far and think you will too. In the meantime, here's more about A Boomer With Attitude, from the boomer in question. Check out his website, too.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Boomer
Dan Sherman's Humor Column provides a funny look at today's trends through the eyes of a baby boomer. A 46-year-old writer living in Nevada, Dan pokes fun at recent developments such as cell phones, SUVs, rap music, reality shows, extreme sports and video games. But most importantly, he pokes fun at himself as he strives to cope with living as a guy who is no longer a teenager, but still thinks and feels like one.
Dan Sherman has been writing professionally since he graduated from Tufts University with a B.A. in English. After college he worked as an advertising copywriter in several Boston ad agencies. He then worked as a marketing manager in the financial services and high tech fields, during which time he wrote hundreds of ads, newsletters, brochures, speeches, handbooks, white papers, presentations, chain letters and ransom notes. His hand is still tired.
While creating marketing materials has allowed Dan to maintain his lavish "Bud, beer nuts n' Blockbuster" lifestyle, his true passion is creative writing. He has written short stories, plays, essays, articles for national magazines and a couple of books.
