Economics and the mid-life crisis have much in common: Both dwell on foregone opportunities

A&W - a Hang-out for Seniors?
Ms. Eclectic and I went to A&W for breakfast this morning. She had bacon and eggs and pronounced them fine. I had a ham and egg and cheese sandwich, and it was sub-mediocre. Let's face it, nothing lives up to McDonald's Egg McMuffin.

What struck me was that the theme is all 50s, with photos from A&Ws back then, when A&W was in its hey-day. And the music was all hits from the 50s and maybe very early 60s — like that used in American Graffiti. I liked the music, and kept feeling as if I wanted to get up and sing and dance along with it.

Maybe if/when I retire from my present job, instead of becoming a Wal-Mart greeter, I'll get a job at A&W.

Judging from A&W's TV ads, they are targeting aging boomers, for sure. So maybe you're onto something.
