Boomers as Dankai
We received this inquiry from Fuji TV Network News. Interested Boomers, g'head and make contact. You could be a star on Japanese TV:
Fuji TV News is looking to produce a segment for its prime-time news show about aging baby boomers in the US. FYI, Fuji TV is the ABC-affiliate, and highest-rated network, in Japan.
As you may know, Japan has its own baby boomer generation (known as the "dankai" generation), although it is mostly considered to be people born from 1947~49. "Dankai" means "the massive group." Given Japan's aging society, this is a hot-topic in the news right now, and so naturally, they are looking to the US to see how our boomers are handling their impending retirement age.
We are looking for a Miami, FL-based baby boomer to profile (male or female) for this segment, and would like to do a 'day-in-the-life-of' type story about them. We are most interested in former hippie types (Woodstock attendees a plus!) who are now avid hobbyists of health (sports, excercising, etc.) or technology (keeping up with the latest computers, etc.).
Our deadline for this story is Feb 7, so we are hoping to conduct a half-day shoot on a date most convenient between Jan 30 and Feb 7. This segment will air only in Japan.
If interested, please contact me immediately (the lucky boomer will be selected on a first come first served basis).
Thanks!

Why are US medical cost so high as compared to Ecuador? You have to do a relative comparison....
In Ecuador, youâll have access to excellent medical care. Youâll find hospitals with state-of-the-art equipment in the bigger cities, as well as specialists in all fields and physicians with private clinics. The average visit to the doctorâs office runs just $15, with a specialist costing about $17 to $20.

Here's a comment. I have just perused several "Baby Boomer" sites only to discover that all of them seem to miss the most valuable and important resource a baby boomer would seek on such sites: how to connect with other baby boomers in their area. For instance, I am a semi-retired 53 yr old male living seasonally in South Florida. I swear I'm the only baby boomer in the entire state. Where are they all and how do I connect with them. Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.
