"Pass the bran muffins, light the incense, and crank up the Rolling Stones. It's breakfast time here at the Sunny Hills Rock 'n' Roll Rest Home, that rollicking feel-good place where our nation's 77 million Baby Boomers will go to stage the final act of their lives. Before anyone trips over the phone cord trying to get on a waiting list, know that the Rock 'n' Roll Rest Home is still, at this point, just an idea, a metaphor, a dream, a best-case scenario, maybe even, depending on your proclivities, a hallucination. One that a loose network of forward-thinking experts has been pondering as we march toward that demographic watershed of a date, Jan. 1, 2011. That's the day the Boomers start turning 65." (SUN-SENTINEL) The author considers how the Baby Boom generation will handle the aging process.
