BLOGGING BABY BOOMERS CARNIVAL #77 : Holiday Inns, Senior Moments and the Movies
Well I’m "it" this week –
the blog carnival gang has landed on my doorstep, and what wonderful gifts
they’ve left!
Since we’re blogging boomers we’ll
start with John Agno of So Baby Boomer, who’s thinking about video games this
week: Aging boomers are turning to video games to keep their wits
agile….because they are worried about too many senior moments.
The always original Wesley Hein
reminds us that "Hollywood has made good use of the struggles of middle
age." With that in mind, on LifeTwo he has compiled a list of Top Ten Midlife Crisis Movies.
Rhea Pearlman of The (recently highly complimented) Boomer Chronicles is thinking real estate and makes an irritating discovery: There’s a stigma to being middle-aged and renting.
On the aging theme, Nora Ephron may hate her neck, but she never met the two creators of Fabulous over Forty. Did you know that wearing the
wrong style of necklace can really age you? They’ll tell you which of this
season’s accessories are in or out.
Perfect for summer: I Remember JFK‘s Ron Enderland’s
meditations on summer vacations past : "Ah, life on the

and get us somewhere early in the morning? That was known to happen. Or would
we stay at a nice, clean, cheap, joyless motel without a pool? Or, would
dad, feeling flush after a particularly profitable week fixing diesel trucks in
his garage, spring for the ultimate experience in lodging? That would, of
course, be the Holiday Inn!"
In other very exciting news, the ultra-cool, innovative, trend watching company PSFK has listed
Gen Plus and The Boomer Chronicles in their list of “Boomer Blogs to
Follow”. Janet Wendy has the full list posted and a link to PSFK to get a
peek at the latest in trend.
couldn’t help smiling in recognition when she read Autobiography in Five Short Chapters by Portia
Nelson. See if it rings any bells for you.
Meanwhile, Midlife Crisis Queen asks
"Do you ever wonder if you’re headed for a midlife crisis?" then
answers with the warning signs.
things get rough?" asks Dina. "There may be a better way to solve things." She’s got some thoughts over at This Marriage Thing.
And, even though it’s just below here – here’s my cranky Boomer post about the John McCain "love" commercial. Don’t hate me if you disagree – I couldn’t help it.
