Every 18 seconds another Baby Boomer turns 50 and confronts that dreaded milestone: middle age. But the "Me Generation" seems to be defining middle age based on a projected life span of 120 years. In other words, they're in denial, big time. This lighthearted book will clear up any confusion readers might have about whether they're still young at heart, or if they're being dragged kicking and screaming over the threshold of middle age. It's indisputable that you've reached middle age if . . . * You watch reruns of Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch, or The Wonder Years and you identify with the parents. * You remember when meat, potatoes, and gravy were considered a well-balanced meal. * The only illegal herbs you're interested in smuggling into the country are Cuban cigars. * You've come to the annoying realization that your parents were right about almost everything. * Your computer has more memory than you do. * You remember when TVs had antennas and telephones had cords. You Know You've Reached Middle Age If . . . also includes bonus sections like "What Others Say About Middle Age" (with witty celebrity quotes) and "There's Still Hope," listing notable late bloomers and their accomplishments. A couple of these inspiring tidbits: Daniel Defoe wrote Robinson Crusoe at 59, and at 77 John Glenn orbited the Earth in a space shuttle.This charming and clever look at the mature lifestyle will gently break the news to readers that they're middle aged, and humorously assure them that that's okay.

If you've bought Dark Side of the Moon on vinyl, eight track, cassette, CD, DVD, and MP3, then this book is for you. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 330 people officially reach middle age with each passing hour. More Too Old for MySpace, Too Young for Medicare With generational icons like Jon Stewart, Molly Ringwald, and miscellaneous members of the Brat Pack now advancing into their 40s, suddenly middle age seems more synonymous with Generation X than the baby boomers of yesteryear. For those celebrating their official entry into middle age, or those just on the upper-thirty-something cusp, Joey Green offers dozens of defining characteristics that indicate you're likely too old for MySpace, but too young for Medicare: * You have a remote control that controls your remotes. * You went through childhood without an infant seat, airbag, or seatbelt-and lived to tell about it. * You remember when Coca-Cola was available in only one flavor.
