Love the Onion article about the coming tsunami of Boomer mortality. Lately it seemed like every week brought a couple of death notices about boomers (Ron Pallilo) or boomer idols who were a little older but pop cultural icons of our youth (Phyllis Diller, Neil Armstrong). It's going to get worse -- or better, depending on your point of view. We've been dying off for years -- whooping cough, polio, cystic fibrosis, drunk driving, illegal abortions, Viet Nam, murder, drug overdoses, cancer, suicide, HIV-AIDS, heart disease -- our numbers very slowing waning as we rolled through the school system, the workforce and the electorate. Here we go, folks. For the next thirty years it's all downhill.
Wonder when we become invisible? Hope I last long enough to be ignored.
