2013: Resolving to Embrace the Unresolved
December 27, 2012
Let’s face it: It’s pretty darn difficult to make any kind of resolutions for 2013 when we have just narrowly escaped The Rapture, The Mayan Calendar Flaw, and Mitt Romney. And, with only a few days to go, we are perched on the edge of The Fiscal Cliff and the only people who can save us […]

Guerrilla Aging: Navigating the Third Half of Life
December 11, 2012
If the title confuses you, you are in the right place. We are women navigating a part of life that hasn’t been navigated before. Often, we do so in secret. While the media focuses on the younger, the firmer, the more camera-ready, we “women of a certain age” age behind the scenes, beneath the radar. […]
Aging Facefully
December 5, 2012
A favorite activity of celeb mags, when they aren’t detailing Taylor Swift’s boyfriend du jour or the imminent break up and/or marriage of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, is to haul out photos of older actresses and to shriek “More beautiful than ever!” “Never ages!” “What is her Secret?” “These Older Actresses Get Hotter Every […]
A Boomer Survival Guide to the End of Summer
August 21, 2012
If you live in the northern hemisphere, the technical end-of-summer will occur on September 22 this year. And, as in all previous years, this will be an afterthought to the general population.

Navigating the Bridge to Nowhere
July 16, 2012
The aging brain is like a GPS. You know where you are headed, and your brain appears to be perfectly capable of sending you there. But you notice with increasing frequency that you are told to make a right turn, then, when you do, to make a U-turn. You may ultimately get where you want […]
Let’s Talk Boobs
July 11, 2012
Actually, let’s talk bras, even though they aren’t much fun to talk about. When we start wearing them, they are usually too big and they feel like alien beings have attached themselves to us. Our first heavy make out sessions can involve young men who have seemed up until that point perfectly normal, with all […]

Despite opposition from some members of his Republican party, and despite 87% of the American population being unable to pronounce his name correctly, John Boehner today won a second term as US Speaker of the House. In another joyous development, Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter have been deemed safe listening fare by the Pentagon, while anything […]
