Mark Trahant: The big five-oh a good time to reflect
Monday, June 21, 2004
"A friend of mine turned 50 recently. There were the usual congratulations tossed her way, followed by friendly advice about the meaning of the big five-oh.
But I heard something else: the chorus of "happy birthday" is growing incredibly loud.
We are at the beginning chord of a generational shift. I know a lot of folks turning 50 this year -- and I should -- because some 10,000 people a day are facing a cake bearing all of those candles."
