Boomers Plus Means Seniors

DnvrFox, the answer is yes.... The PLUS part of my blog title refers to those older than Boomers. The truth is, we seniors don't much like being called seniors. It's OK to be a senior in high school or a senior vice president of a company. In life, in the age-obsessed U.S., it is not OK to be a "senior" in terms of age. I originally called my blog "Cycling for Oldsters." My age cohort hated it. I took a poll and discovered the largest group of voters preferred to be included in "Boomers Plus." You can see all this in the archilves on the blog.

That said, I find many similarities in complaints, fitness, aches & pains and touring choices between "boomers" and "seniors." Also, many of us who are technically seniors relate more to boomers in choices of music (Beatles, not show tunes) and exercise (biking, not shuffleboard.)

best, Amazingrace
