“Jokes for Baby Boomers” is a “lense” at Squidoo whose name says it all. Well, mostly all. There is a little more to the site than just jokes for boomers; there are also links to other Boomer lenses, ads aimed at Boomers, and comments by appreciative Boomer readers. But mostly it has jokes and funny lists like You are getting old when . . . (“You and your teeth don’t sleep together”) or 25 signs that you are getting old (#5. “You are proud of your lawn mower”). There are apparently several Boomer lenses on Squidoo, which is a site where anyone can create a nicely structured, well-focused and useful page for free. They call those pages “lenses.” You can even make money with them.
Just for the record, my teeth and I still sleep together and I am constantly embarrassed by my lawn mower. I can’t take it anywhere.

Hey Mitch,
Love the new blog! I’m on the young end of the Boomers (1963). All everyone remembers about the year I was born is that JFK was assassinated.
I can only identify with a couple of 25 Signs You’re Getting Old: my car has built-in compass (how cool is that?!) and I’m no longer too short to read the newspaper thanks for multi-focal contacts (no reading glasses for me!). Ah, the joys of middle age…
