Housing America’s Older Adults
Yep. I’m getting older, but so are you. Since some of my work is with non-profits focused on seniors and aging, I re-read a study from the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University called Housing America’s Older Adults you might be interested in the huge number of 50+’ers there will be in just over 15 years:
America’s older population is in the midst of unprecedented growth. With the aging of the large baby-boom generation and increased longevity, the 50-and over population is projected to increase about 20 percent by 2030, to 132 million. In just 15 years, one in five people will be at least aged 65.
Wow. At least I’ll have some company! Take a peek at the Harvard Symposium AGING + PLACE at YouTube or look at the infographic below for some fun factoids…

Connecting the Dots Podcast
Podcasting hit the mainstream in July of 2005 when Apple added podcast show support within iTunes. I'd seen this coming so started podcasting in May of 2005 and kept going until August of 2007. Unfortunately was never 'discovered' by national broadcasters, but made a delightfully large number of connections with people all over the world because of these shows.
