With generational icons like Jon Stewart, Molly Ringwald, and miscellaneous members of the Brat Pack now advancing into their 40s, suddenly middle age seems more synonymous with Generation X than the baby boomers of yesteryear.
For those celebrating their official entry into middle age, or those just on the upper-30-something cusp, Joey Green offers dozens of defining characteristics that indicate you're likely too old for MySpace, but too young for Medicare:
• You have a remote control that controls your remotes
• You went through childhood without an infant seat, airbag, or seatbelt – and lived to tell about it
• You remember when Coca-Cola was available in only one flavour.
