To Everything…





We need not worry about falling stars or being smashed by asteroids, it is the Boomers that are colliding with Earth.  The Flower Child of the 60’s is returning to the earth in record number and with an agonizing thud.



The old-age homes we ignored and even made fun of as teenagers are now our return addresses.  What once were rap-sheets have been replaced by diet and medication instructions hanging from clipboards.  We are the Pepcid generation.



And in spite of what you may have heard, most of us are going gentle into this good night.  Not that our fight has left the station before us, but simply stated - the ride itself has changed.  It has become unrecognizable and without spirit.   

Even though we still have a few quarters in our pocket we just don’t want to go around again.



We’ll leave them for you in the little ceramic dish on the dresser.
