Supper Clubs have no age limits. The general practice is for a Supper Club to be generational. Baby boomers stick with baby boomers and millenials stick with millenials. Personally I prefer to get a mix of generations.
Not being tied to one generation opens up the possibilities. This reminds me of a multi generational story. More than a few years ago, we were having dinner with our friends Terry and Jeff back in Greenwich Connecticut. While were waiting to get seated I ran into a childhood friend, Tommy Palumbo at the bar. It was great to see him. After a briefly catching up I rejoined my wife and friends at our dinner table. When I sat down Jeff asked me: Why that I was 45 and looked 55 and Tommy who was 45 looked 35? To which I responded: It could be the 25 year old woman he was with that isn’t his first wife”. The scar from where Susan kicked me has just about healed.
For the record, Tommy had also dyed his hair. Having had hair that is completely white since I was 30 probably leaves me sensitive and exposed to older than I look comments. Then again I can be glad that I have hair. Unlike my father who was bald and used to say: “God only made a few perfect heads, the rest he put hair on”.
We are lucky to live in a neighborhood that a lot of millenials are moving into. We have joined a wine club where the average age is closer to 35 than our age of 60. It is great. The millenials are a lot of fun and the dynamic for a Supper Club works very well.
