Poor Little Rich Boy

I'm embarrassed. One of my fellow Baby Boomers has explained why he still works so hard.

Hal Steger is quoted in the NY Times: "a few million doesn’t go as far as it used to. Maybe in the ’70s, a few million bucks meant ‘Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous,’ or Richie Rich living in a big house with a butler. But not anymore.”

I don't mean to pick on Mr. Steger specifically, but this is very nearly obscene. It's no wonder the image of the ugly American is growing. By the time someone has turned fifty they should have learned the difference between price and value.

In fairness to Mr. Steger, he's not the only one listed in the article, just the first and most visible.

Sex Reminder

I was pleased this morning when I read of some recent research. As a Baby Boomer, sometimes it's good to be reminded of the incredibly obvious.

According to Seth Borenstein, an AP Science writer, research has revealed that the reason people have sex is because it feels good.

• I for one am glad to be reminded me why people have sex because I'm pretty sure it had slipped my mind.
  
  
• Now if someone would just remind me how to have sex I'd be set to go.

Take care and say "excuse me all the way."
