And..... a "My Space" for boomers...

What Is Eons?

http://www.eons.com/

Boom, Boom, Boom — Have you heard it? It’s the beat of our generation of Boomers and Seniors -
many of us at Eons included - who want to live the biggest life possible.
Collectively, we intend to do, see, learn, and be more on the way to the reachable goal of
living to 100.

My new company, Eons, is all about celebrating life that begins at 50. I want to invite you
to start thinking about the unprecedented opportunity to travel and explore, to re-invent our
careers, to nurture relationships, to give back to the community … to live life to the fullest.
With the longevity revolution, the 50+ generation has the potential to live nearly 20 years
more than our grandparents did.
This creates the longest, most unstructured and dare I say most exciting time of our lives.

If you’re under 50, join me in being an evangelist for Eons and challenge yourself to see how
many friends and family you can inspire to live the biggest life possible.

Be loud and be proud about your age.

Let’s Live to Be 100 (or die trying)!

Jeff Taylor
Founder and CEO, Eons

---------------

If you're over 50 or near that age, check them out and post your opinion here!
I'm just curious what others think of Eons.

;)

2. I'm listening to Boomer Radio now
Edited on Mon Feb-26-07 01:46 AM by Breeze54
I tried The Acoustic Cafe but I only recognized 2 of 4 songs.
Maybe I'm to young for some of that music? lol
Might have been from the early 60's.

I'm trying Classic Mix - Rock Classics now and that sounds more familiar, so far!
;) Cool! I can deal with it! :)

3. I question the classification of boomers as people
born 1946-1964. It's hard for me to think of someone born a year after Kennedy was killed as a baby boomer. Furthermore, here in Texas there were a good many girls born in 1946 who gave birth to babies in 1964. How could you be the same generation as your own child? I was born in 1947 - solidly boomer. My children were born in 1971 and 1974, and I'm not sure whether they're generation X or Y, and they couldn't care less!

But I did enjoy the website and other links! Thanks for posting them.

4. I'm a people!! LMAO!!

I think it's a standard classification? Look at Wikipedia.
I think it has every "generation" spanning 20 years or thereabouts, as a definition.
I don't know who decided the years included.
I have no idea about Texas and young mothers.
I've seen just as young mothers in the mid-west.

Glad you enjoyed the links! ;)
I'm enjoying the music on Classic Mix right now!

Groovy! -->

:rofl:
