Something to Think About

Did you realize that, as of today, nearly all of those born in the seventies have reached their thirties? Yep. When American Idol inevitably features the "Songs from the Year You Were Born" theme night, our decade will be noticeably absent. Instead, we will hear songs that were the background for slumber party games or - gasp! - that we danced to in high school or college. We are well above the maximum age for appearing on The Real World. If we're carded, we can expect a "yikes" expression on the checker/bouncer's face. We're nowhere near that "You Must Be Born on Today's Date in ____ to Purchase Alcohol" sign. All of us are eligible to run for the House of Representatives; most of us can run for Senate; approximately half of us could run for PRESIDENT. Face it - we're old.

Good thing the thirties are the new twenties.
