Lifestyles redefines today\'s retirees\' lifestyles.

They won\'t do it like Dad did!



Press Release Body =
Starting in January of 2006, every eight seconds a North American boomer will reach
his or her sixtieth birthday and contemplate the days ahead. That\'s eleven thousand
people daily or four and a half million a year. What will these new 60 year-olds,
the leading edge of a 78 million-member generation, do next? Will they pick up their
golf clubs and head to the age-segregated links, as did Dad? Or choose a path more
in keeping with the boomer character? After all, this is the generation of sex,
drugs and marching in the streets.

Award-winning writer Joan Fitting Scott, who specializes in baby boomer issues,
wanted to answer the question. Skinning the Cat: A Baby Boomer\'s Guide to the New
Retiree Lifestyles is the result of her extensive research, including interviews
with dozens of baby boomers. Scott offers a look at boomers\' trailblazing idea of
retirement. Her book provides cutting-edge options for life\'s second act, whether
that means continuing full-time work, not working, working part-time or cyclically.
Also covered are options like returning to school, philanthropy, travel and
sabbaticals. Personal examples shed light on all these choices. The book also offers
resources for making lifestyle decisions from among myriad choices.

Joan Fitting Scott is a full-time freelance writer specializing in baby boomer
issues. She has written for numerous publications, including Senior News. She is a
regular contributor to Senior Voice. Scott is energetic and articulate and is
available for interviews, book talks and signings. Her book is available at
