My Year of Turning 50

Does the world really need another baby boomer talking about turning 50?

Boomers were born to be wild, or was that mild?

OK, this animated cartoon, about aging baby boomers trying to stay young, has me laughing out loud, or LOL as we used to say in the AOL years. (Note you have to follow the link to see the Walt Handelsman piece.) It contains a song you could all sing to your favorite baby boomer turning 50 years ago, to the tune “Born to Ride.” It opens with the lines: “Get your Mortin ready…Head out on the treadmill” and gets better from there. (Note: It’s on Newsday.com, which also is owned by the company that owns OrlandoSentinel.com, where I work.)

    But you’re not bald, tubby or mild. Should you really be listening to this??

    No, I’m not…yet! Maybe it’s a vision of the future…
