AARP Convention

Jane and I along with 24,000 others attended the AARP convention in Orlando Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. This was our third convention. The two previous were Orlando 2000 and San Antonio 1992. It's really quite a big deal -- so much to see and do. A big frustration is being able to attend but a few of the programs since so many are on simultaneously. A few of the speakers we squeezed in were: Governor Charlie Crist, Dave Barry, Jane Pauley, Marlo Thomas, James Carville & Mary Matalin, Rob Reiner, Whoopi Goldberg, Larry King, Olympia Dukakis, among many others. The movies we saw were Waiting For Superman, Flipped, Secretariat, and Nowhere Boy (A chronicle of John Lennon's childhood).
