Nothing like a visit to the AARP Expo and Marc Fisher of the Washington Post gives us the tour.

Everything ripe for successful aging is here from a Shirley MacLane lecture to colonoscopy prep pills.
And just in case you want the latest trends in cremation, well, they've got that too.

But they've got groups like Chicago, along with Paul Simon, Gene Simmons and Chaka Khan so that you don't feel too old while you're thinking about getting old.

This is not the way our parents and grandparents aged.

As AARP Expo visitor Tessa Pollack, 61, comments," …America's getting older, but it's a younger older." Okay…

For more info about the AARP Expo go to I'll keep my aging to myself, thank you.
