Maybe you'e seen the commercial and then again maybe not. You know, the one with golf hall of famers Nancy Lopez and good ole Arnold Palmer standing on a golf course in the middle of The Villages, one of the most recognizable retirement communities in the world. The one where every day is a great day because you are lucky enough to be living in The Villages. Well, a new book has just come out titled: Leisureville: Adventures in America's Retirement Utopias by Andrew Blechman and published by Atlantic Monthly Press.
Being interested in these sort of things, retirement communities, both as a marketer and as a consumer, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this book. I tried to get the Kindle version but it apparently is too new; shame on you Kindle ! Anyway, if you have any interest at all in what makes these places work and what really goes on behind the scenes than this book is a must have.
More later.
OK, prof. What's clear to me and many of your students is that it's time for you to head for The Villages and work on your golf game.

Well now, seems "Ryan" and "Brenda" are the same person...someone's upset because they did no work in the prof's class and he had the balls to actually fail them.
Entitled trash.
