Thanks for passing along that New Yorker cartoon about the lady getting her dreaded AARP letter. It's a funny one. Though I am seven years away from getting my membership letter, I have already been made a member by default as an employee. But by the time I turn 50 and officially become a member, I hope not to need a hug when I get my letter as efforts underway, including some of the work-related antics you see moblogged here, should shift people's perceptions. If not, I'll still have tons of fun trying.
