Mom is at a pajama party. Dad is organizing a rock, paper, scissors tournament. Will they ever grow up and start behaving like adults or are they part of a new breed of "rejuveniles?"
Playful adults -- those who refuse to give up fun just because they have a mortgage -- are redefining what it means to be a grown-up in the 21st century, says writer Chris Noxon.
"Once upon a time boys and girls grew up and set aside childish things. Nowadays adults buy cars marketed to consumers half their age, dress in schoolyard fashions and play with their children in ways adults of previous generations would have found ridiculous.
"Most have busy lives and adult responsibilities. They are not stunted adolescents. They are something new: rejuveniles," said Noxon.

My wife and I went for a short hike above the Pali Lookout this morning and then a swim down at Kakaako Park. And to top it off we went home and made whoopie. Now that's living to me. Sure it all sounds like what a "Young" couple would do, but don't knock it. I'm smiling!
