Well, I'm a boomer (or afterboomer) by most measures. But I'm not going for quantity. Just a few good, er, wo-men.

Well, if you are on the shoulders of any generational split, that makes you an even smaller minority that shares traits of both, but also limits commonality of both. Too young for one, too old for the other. Sounds like where you are at.

Not entirely un-accurate. The boomers were okay to hang with when I was the kid in the room, but as they passed through baseball to softball to golf to bicycling to... mahjohgg, I kind of lost interest. For all the labels, there isn't really a defined generation born 1965-1975/80 or so; it's only the late end of that era that became GenX. So call me a senior member of the Void Generation.

But, y'know, there have always been folks in their mid-fifties. I'm just wondering where the hell they are, now and in the Denver area. Quite seriously, I suspect they are the least outwardly-social group; they are in middle-late career stage, married, focused on kids in high school and college, and generally not out in the sportin', shootin', ridin', skiin' lake and snow and trail crowd, nor the "new social" crowd they'll be desperately scratching at in a few years.

Huh. What a PITA.
