About

Frustrated Boomers is an online journal of my thoughts. At times I will rant about what angers me, at other times, I will simply opine – very much like every other place at which my writing appears.  (which would be as the Sunday columnist for Bob Segarini’s Don’t Believe A Word I Say blog;  as a recap/review writer at Starpulse.com; and on Facebook, where I maintain multiple pages on subjects ranging from music to mental health and beyond.)

My name is Roxanne Tellier, and I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I’m a proud baby boomer, a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. I have been a writer and musician all of my life, which has necessitated working at a myriad of occupations, from ‘joe jobs’ to corporate positions.

I am interested in nearly every subject, although I try to keep my mind focused on the things that matter. Still, when my poor old brain can’t take any more, I’ll wile away the hours playing computer Mahjong, or guessing quiz answers to obscure pop trivia. And then enjoy a marathon of obscure British telly.

My personality is divisive; some will enjoy what I have to say, while others may only find a few of my posts of interest. And that’s the way it should be. We’re each of us only human, prone to banality and brilliance, with many stops between the two extremes.

I hope you’ll find something of interest in my ramblings and rants.
