Simple Words of Wisdom

 

Numerous essays and books have been written about the Baby Boomers ushering in the Age of Excess at the end of the 20th century. Recently, I heard a remark that epitomizes—without judging—the Baby Boomer mentality. My wife and I had bought more furnishings than we needed for refurbishing our Waikiki condos. I was designated—as always—to return the extra stuff. When I got into the elevator on route to the parking garage, I saw a woman (probably in her 50’s) who asked me what I was doing. After I told her, she looked at me knowingly and said, “That’s the way we are.” How succinct—how true!
