Classic example of silent generation - note number of postings

Not sure where I fit. Next month I will observe my 39th birthday.

For the 42nd time.

Baby Boom = 20 yrs
Gen X = ~18 yrs
Gen Y = ~23 yrs

I just checked my family tree. The average generation in my tree, going back to the 1400's, is ~ 25 years.

When demographers define generations (e.g., the Baby Boom), they are not using strict mathematical criteria. For instance, how would mathematical analysis tell you when a new generation is beginning. The generations tend to be identified roughly in terms of social criteria (e.g., a spike in the birth rate, a drop in the birth rate, the Millenium effect, etc.). There is nothing written in stone about these designations...they are a descriptive convenience.

My first inclination would be to post a blessing from my higher power to you, Kib... however I find myself having to modify the post to say congratulations (in advance) and many more... but it doesn't convey the same intent, I'm afraid.

Boomer: 1948 in Bristol, home of the worldwide leader ....

But I've had people ask me over the past week if I was 50 yet. I had no idea that there was an epidemic of bad vision in this country.

Speaking of Boomers, I high-fived Chris Berman at Merion after the final round on Sunday. He liked that I too was a Brown grad.

In some ways, I feel more like a Gen Y but really, I'm end of Gen X. (If you start Gen Y in 81, then I made Gen X by about six weeks.) Thank goodness 1961 falls during the Baby Boom. It'd creep me out to think of my mom being Gen X as well.

Oh, well. I remember too much from the early 80s to be Gen Y, I think.

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!

Not sure why it's the "silent" generation, but when I was born WW II was still going on.

I think you are unique--Gen Jen.

Good to see the Babies dominating over the Silents and the Genies, probably because they learned to throw down the 3-point sky hooks way back when. But personally, being 19 forever, I'll slide into whatever generation fits the criteria.

I think this census just kind of reiterates the videos of the oldish folk sitting at the games and occasionally working up the energy for a good "Whoopie" for a Husky basket.

Fairly late Boomer- look more like a very early "X'r"-act mor like a late Gen Y Milenial, so there!

Love it!
