Don't kid yourself; maybe it's not your fault, but the baby boom generation is as filled with greed as any other...they just smoked pot and dressed like hippies before they got so greedy. My own Generation X is no better, no worse. BTW, I'm nicer to folks who don't refer to me as "idiot", idiot. ;-) Half-wit commenter Pearl: Check out these baby-boomer Big Oil execs who used oil to get rich:
Roman Abramovich, world’s richest oil and gas tycoon, born 1966.
Mikhail Fridman, oil billionaire, born 1964.
Richard Kinder, former Enron president and energy pipeline billionaire, born 1945.

It was the PARENTS of the baby boomers who used all that oil getting rich. You need to study the growth of American business before you attempt to expound on the subject again. I'm sick and tired of boomers getting blamed for environmental woes. WE were the generation who brought the state of this planet to the forefront. Idiot blogger.

I couldn't do it either. I have forty acres in central Illinois, and I count the days till about mid April when the hummingbirds return. What a pleasure to be awakened in the morning by the hum of those wings flapping as they feed. And then watching them during the day as the buzz from one feeder to the next. Besides I am happy with the paddle boat on one pond and the canoe on the other. And with eight grandkids, I would miss them to much. So much for cocktails at sunset.

Even if I talked Jodi into it, we still have three kids to put through college in a few years, so that $10 million five-bedroom floating property is looking less and less likely to be in our future. Send us a postcard, though! ;-) Pete: I agree with Jodi…chances are looking pretty slim.

The thought of a being on a boat that big makes her want to cry, PLUS she doesn't like to be put on a schedule when it comes to relaxing.
