| FH Boom Daily Digest – May 7, 2010 Posted: 07 May 2010 05:23 AM PDT Top News From Today's "Boomiverse" American Parents Going to the Dogs After Human Kids Leave the Nest Overview: "Ms. Stafford, a 59-year-old retired banker and mother of two adult children, is one of many baby boomers who drive their pets from activity to activity as they once did their human offspring. "I believe dogs, like children, should be exposed to things," says Ms. Stafford, a cheerful woman who carries a fanny pack of treats for Lilly." Boom Time for Boomer Models Overview: "As a customer service agent/Level 4 for the Lowe's home improvement store in Garden City, N.Y., she operates a forklift (above), along with a narrow aisle reach machine and an order picker machine. The other day she unloaded 20 skids of mulch ("mulch is really bouncy, you have to drive slowly or it'll fall on you") and then did 18 skids of patio-building material. In the winter, she uses a chainsaw to trim Christmas trees for customers, and come spring she offers planting advice in the garden store." Memo to H.R: Older Brains = Smarter Brains Overview: "Baby Boomers looking to keep working well into their 60s and beyond may have just found their patron saint in New York Times science editor Barbara Strauch. In her new book, The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain, Strauch makes a compelling case that older brains are smarter brains." |
