Baby Boomers

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

We age everyday. We get older and closer to retirement - even if 50 is the new 40.

Baby boomers hear the clock ticking so for your weekend viewing pleasure watch this film The Open Road. ”You aren’t getting older, you are getting better.” I enjoyed this one. You will too.

Google Helps You Live Longer

Now that is a great consumer claim!

Read this article. As an evangelist for the benefits of the Web for a long time, I always thought the Internet could make you happy and smarter and add to your productivity and longevity. We are social animals. Solitary confinement is considered torture.

If crossword puzzles are good for your mind then so is the Internet.

I was made happy reading this article.

We Are Everywhere

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

So I am in Chicago for a set of board meetings. My meetings end at 6:00 pm central time last night. I dash to the ESPN Zone in downtown Chicago. I meet with a manager and convince him to put on the Caps vs. Thrashers game. I eat a burger. I get to watch a sloppy and ugly game with a beautiful ending in that we gain two standing points in the division on the road.

While I am watching the game, a business executive comes into the bar area and he is really into the game. He is cheering for the Caps. In between periods, I go over and introduce myself. His name is Jonathan Duke. He is from Sterling, VA. He is on a business trip and he wants to see “his favorite team” play.

How cool is that? We chat, take a photo together and watch the end of the game.

Go Caps! Rock the Red - everywhere.
