Guerrilla Aging: Elder Wisdom Circle
A few days ago, I started an online search for local volunteer opportunities. I always prefer working directly with people, and my most enjoyable and rewarding volunteer work to date has been tutoring pregnant teens, in a program that helps them complete their high school education.

Celebs like Nicki Minaj, JLo, Beyonce and Kim Kardashian have given bodacious booties a big boost. Enter Booty Pop, a purveyor of padded panties.

Guerrilla Aging: Money Honey
October 31, 2014
Money means more than dollars. It’s tied to our sense of success, to security, to power, to independence. It can be what allows us, or stops us, from fulfilling our dreams.

October 3, 2014
Life in the Boomer Lane was just visited for a couple days from two long time friends. Judy, since 9th grade. Susan, since 5th. The years of our lives have been filled with whatever fills years. We marvel each time we are together that we pick up exactly where we left off. We […]
Guerrilla Aging: Memories Lost and Found
September 12, 2014
If we are an accumulation of all of our memories, then many of us are in serious trouble. Memories, like socks, often appear and disappear in random fashion. Sometimes, their appearance, like the errant sock, makes a match, and we once again capture a complete memory. More often than not, the lone memory, like […]
How the Boomers Changed Sex
September 10, 2014
An apology to loyal readers of this blog and to those who arrived here because they will read anything with the word “sex” or “lubrication” in it. The following is not a boomer version of the Kama Sutra. Reading this will not allow you to cavort between the sheets as though it were 1976 […]
