Geezer Blog Targets Seniors, Boomers

As an obsessed fly fisherman with bad knees living in a new city, Dave Clark was forced to do something new with his retirement years. The former park ranger likes to write – he published “Silver Creek,” a book about a southern Idaho fishing stream, in 1997 – and take photos. He’s opinionated with a cantankerous streak. To Clark, 67, that’s a good enough résumé to start a blog. So was the birth of www.justageezer.com, a blog about geezers, boomers, seniors, activities and life after retirement. “The world has pretty much decided seniors, boomers and geezers don’t have much to say anymore – let them know they are wrong! Alone we’re just geezers, but together we are geezer strong,” writes Clark in his blog introduction. “I’m no longer bored,” Clark said recently from his basement office in north Spokane/Erica Curless, SR.
