The good old days!
What was that for you? Watching Batman and the Smothers Brothers on TV? Wishing “Joy to the World†with Three Dog Night or goin’ down those country roads with John Denver? Getting some summer lovin’ kisses in the theatre watching Grease or watching Richard Dreyfuss pursue Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Whatever you remember fondly from “the good old days,†consider why NOW is the BEST day!  Yes, there is pollution, economic upheaval and a decline in the nuclear family. The family seen in “Leave it to Beaver†ain’t what it used to be! But maybe that’s a good thing! June Cleaver didn’t have the personal freedom, mobility, career and birth control choices that women have now. 95% of all babies worldwide will survive to adulthood! Today’s families will often gather at Great-Grandma’s birthday party with four generations spanning 100 years. In this month’s Boomer Bites, I describe advances in vision, spine surgery, cancer detection, food, sleep aids, even botox.  We must be doing something right!
