Responding to a need for after-work recreation and support programs for area adults, The Den, a local middle-age activity center, opened last month to provide a fun, encouraging environment where 40-to-60-year-olds can interact with others their own age.

Leigh-do you think they are prepping the middle agers to be ready for the senior center. I refuse to go to either. We all graduated from Kindergarten-lol

Thanks Cal...I take a lot for granted without realising, but The Onion's offerings wake me out of my stupor.
The following quotes from the article I found humorous:

"These adults may seem a little different because of their haircuts or the way they dress, but when you get to know them, they're actually pretty neat," said counselor Marcus Hughs, 21... "And of course, they're still getting accustomed to the changes their bodies are going through... It's not easy when your hormones start to simmer down and suddenly you don't have hair in the same places you used to."

It does not matter how old or young you are,because you are only as old as you feel! For me that's 20 some days and some days old. LOL
