About Us

BoomerBrief.com is written by Boomers for Boomers.  The brains behind BoomerBrief.com are Bob and Charlotte.  Bob is a slightly-graying public relations exec with a database brain and an opinion about everything.  His Wii Fit age is 85, but in real life he's still in his 50's.  Charlotte is a PR exec too, and bears a striking resemblance to Olivia Newton John (yeah, she gets that a lot).  She's in her 50's in real life and only 34 in Wii years.  This really pisses off Bob.  But, what can he do?  She's so fit she'd take him in a fair fight.
