ZOOMING!
Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on July 15, 2010 – 5:52 am -ZOOMER
“a baby boomer, born between 1946-1964, who leads an active, adventurous lifestyle. The term was coined by gerontologist Dr. David J. Demko in 1998 and continues to be used to profile Zoomers on Dr. Demko’s web site at: www.demko.com/.
Happy Zooming y’all!

I am a zoomer, but only because I chase a two year old around.

I guess I’m just a “boomer” then, I’m not the adventurous type. Oh well, lol. Great Z post.

I am happy to be a zoomer too! I love that word, thanks for the definition.

Nice Z choice! I’d never heard of “zoomer,” too, but am glad to know that I am one — though I need to be more adventurous to really fit the bill. =) Thanks for sharing!

Hey, how cool is that? I’m a zoomer not a boomer. It sounds so much more peppy.

A delight…LOL

Enjoy your outlook on life, keep it going!

I was born December 29, 1945 so I miss out on being a Baby Boomer and now a Zoomer!

Hey…that is neat! I guess I’m a zoomer too…um, except does that mean I had to be adventurous from birth until now? Cuz, I don’t think I am as adventurous as I used to be… but then again…I still would love to go parasailing, “Z”ip-lining, traveling… (sorry…I was ramblin’ for a second…)
This was fun to learn.
Blessings & Aloha!

I’ve never heard this term before.
What a great informative post and now I can use the term with wild abandon!
What a beautiful picture of you!
Thanks for linking up to Alphabe-Thursday’s letter “Z”.
I always love visiting you!

And, thanks for stopping by my blog and for your kind comments.
Oregon is a beautiful place. It’s hot now, in the 90s here. I’m about 85 miles inland.
