Hey, there s political life after 73 - even if there shouldn't be. I'm a boomer and I'd be the first to say boomers should be stepping aside and leaving a warm space for someone younger. The world needs supportive elders right now, not worn and weary boomers hanging on with grim determination. And that's not just in politics.

Hello fellow boomer!

Sure, Asa can show up at the campaign events or get hired as "board member" to one of the Wingnut Welfare Academies or just go fishing for the rest of his life. He's made his mark, for good or bad.

And I'd like to add, there is great institutional knowledge among us elders and they have a lot to pass on to the new generations, so it's not really an age thing with me.
