You say it’s your birthday
It’s my birthday too, yeah
They say it’s your birthday
We’re gonna have a good time
I’m glad it’s your birthday
Happy Birthday to you
~ Lennon-McCartney ~
The generation that vowed to stay forever young is coming up on a major
milestone. But for the 3.4 million Americans who were born in 1946,
retirement is becoming [a reality], and life still holds plenty of
promise and surprises.
Jerry Adler, Newsweek 11/05
Baby boomers presently make up the lion's share of the political,
cultural, industrial and academic leadership class in the United
States. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both born within sixty days of
each other in mid-1946, are the first and second Baby Boomer
presidents, and their careers in office illustrate the wide, often
diverging spectrum of values and attitudes espoused by this largest
American generational group . . .

According to official sources, whoever they are, it begins in February
2006.
We are The Baby Boomers who are turning SIXTY.
In your wildest dreams, did you ever imagine such a thing happening to
us, or to Jimmy Buffett?
By now, we have added laugh lines
an extra pound or twenty-two
some gray hairs perhaps
one ache or quite a few.
Enjoy this new milestone of ours, we are in excellent company:
