    logo_nauFlagstaff AZ (August 28, 2013) – Peter Sagal, host of the popular NPR show “Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!” and the PBS special “Constitution USA,” will speak at Northern Arizona University on Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Ardrey Memorial Auditorium. The talk, “Constitution Day with Peter Sagal” will kick off Constitution Day at NAU on Sept. 17 at Ashurst Hall and will be part of September’s Civic Engagement Month.

    Peter Sagal is the host of Constitution USA, a production of tpt National Productions and Insignia Films. Over the course of the four-hour series, Sagal hits the road, travelling cross-country on a customized red, white and blue Harley-Davidson, to find out where the Constitution lives, how it works, and how it unites us as a nation. Sagal visits dozens of cities and small towns across America, introducing viewers to some of today’s major constitutional debates, and the fascinating stories of the people they affect every day.

    September’s Civic Engagement Month and NAU Constitution Day will consist of other events on campus and in the Flagstaff community.

But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet?

Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world.
