SideOne. YearOne.
Kevin Gilligan is the editor and publisher of SideOne Magazine. After years in marketing and advertising, he decided to do something he truly loves. Welcome to SideOne if you’re a new reader and welcome back if you’re one of our regulars. We took a break over the summer but we’re back now on the occasion of our first anniversary. SideOne started as a passion project while Covid was starting to ramp up and business was ramping down. The idea was simple. Create a magazine for baby boomers that was for them and not about them. And certainly not about retirement or aging. Just a good read covering human interest stories that fellow boomers would be interested in. So here we are – one year later and still going. I’m proud of what we achieved and so fortunate to work with a great bunch of contributors. To them, I must say a huge thank you. Here are a few highlights from this issue that I hope you’ll find of interest.
A TERRIBLE FAILURE TO EMBRACE THE FUTURE.

NOT EVERYONE KNOWS THIS…

WHAT DID HE WANT?
Can Rover be a bit more specific? He just might with a little help from science and some technology. And again, the answer to the question of “Why SideOne?” Side one is where the hits were. Oh, I forgot to mention. SideOne is going to publish every two months from now on. See you in November.
