The problem isn't that we're getting older, it's just that AARP and the government are targeting younger audiences. Fortunately I can't remember what the age limit was for medicare a few years ago... but I'm sure it had to be higher than it is now. :-)Doughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14804800410041909511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6963015679650968932.post-67956707151435739922012-06-01T11:55:09.000-04:002012-06-01T11:55:09.000-04:00Well, I'm not thrilled to be 62.
