Welcome to 2011!
My God, it has started already - stories about the first cohort of Baby Boomers turning 65 this year. Here is something from the NPR story:
"There are 7,000 boomers a day who will be turning 65 in 2011, which is a significant birthday for sure," says Steve Cone, executive vice president of AARP.
Cone and the rest of the AARP folks. must be licking their chops, imagining all that wonderful insurance and other stuff they can hawk while pretending to have altruism at heart. But they've actually been trying to catch me for the past 12 years, ever since I turned 50. After all, they are just AARP now, not the American Association of Retired Persons.
Yes, I'm a Baby Boomer, but I'm already tired of hearing about the AARP and my self-absorbed generation. I can imagine how the other generations must feel.
Please, spare us a year of this stuff.
Oh, yeah - Happy New Year!
Think I'll go listen to The Kinks or Steppenwolf.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

I am getting forgetful in my old age.

Retirement? Just as things are getting interesting at work and the pay is good?
I'm preparing for retirement, however it doesn't mean that I am in a rush to be retired.
If I win the lottery, that's another matter.
Happy 2011.
