PSA: For Mimi and Pops

Mimi and Pops:

In between helping with Logie's diaper explosions, putting together Logie's closet, planting the garden and folding my laundry, I  think you should check out the below article from MSNBC.com and heed their advice. 

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43761917/ns/health-aging/t/elderly-ignore-heat-warnings-because-theyre-not-old/

"As the nation wilts during an especially brutal summer, warnings have gone out to the elderly to try to stay cool. The problem is, many seniors hear the message but don’t think it applies to them — because they don’t see themselves as old."

And in case you don't think this article is for you, there should be NO question when you read this:

"The United States Older Americans Act, for instance, targets people aged 60 and older, but it's a rare 60-year-old who considers himself or herself elderly." 

I MEAN, WE KNOW THAT YOU PASSED THIS NUMBER SEVERAL **COUGH COUGH** YEARS AGO.
