It\u2019s a bit premature, taking a backwards look at 2020 \u2013 but everybody wants it over NOW. I\u2019m just like everybody.<\/p>\n

In January yours truly predicted it would be \u2026<\/p>\n

\n


\nThe Year of Tech<\/a><\/strong>
\u2026 As always, any \u2018tech\u2019 for Baby Boomers is medical tech. I\u2019ve written about the silliness and shortsightedness of this ad nauseum\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It was sort of the year of tech \u2013 but not for the reasons I\u2019d anticipated. Millions of older folks, ones that hadn\u2019t been technologically savvy, became technologically savvy \u2013 simply to survive. The virtual world became the real world out of necessity.<\/p>\n

\nCommunities for Boomers<\/a><\/strong>
The elder-centric housing industry is about to explode every which way \u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That didn\u2019t happen. Everybody (I hope) is staying put. But it will explode eventually.<\/p>\n

Golly, gee \u2026 he\u2019s only a baby!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nThose Irrepressible Boomers<\/a><\/strong>
I just can\u2019t get all hot \u2019n bothered by all this pro\/anti Boomer stuff.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Not a productive year for me or for most folks.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

The good news: It\u2019s almost done with. <\/p>\n

The bad news: It\u2019ll be more of the same or worse for the first six months (or more) of 2021.<\/p>\n

The craziness will be over and we\u2019ll be able to go back to being our crazy selves. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
