My AARP membership packet.

Yes, I applied, so it was expected. But still, it's like some sort of bend in the road has been traveled 'round.

I've received an invitation to join nearly a dozen times, but have yet to do so. Not because I don't want to admit I'm growing old (I don't mind that at all), but because I've never liked the organization. I'm sure I;ll join eventually though.

I've not liked its focus in the past, but I'm going to see how it goes now. Before, it seemed focused on its own members not just to their benefit but at the expense of everyone else. I associate it with those seniors who attacked Dan Rostenkowski years ago as he got into his car. Now they seemed to be more interested in health care matters that concern everyone. We'll see. The membership only runs a year. Quitting's easy.
