The Perks of Online Dating After 50: A Guest Post from eHarmony Canada
February 27, 2013
My Sex and the Sixty-Year-Old posts got the attention of eHarmony Canada, who requested equal time.

I, along with countless other formerly single people, found love online. I’m also […]
A Valentine for Raggedy Andy
February 9, 2013
You were my best friend, my first true love. We were inseparable.

How many books will you read this year?
January 22, 2013
I’ve just lifted my head from the latest page of the current book I’m reading, Spillover. Unless you want to know that a whole host of lethal viruses that used to live happily in animals are now packing up and moving into humans, don’t read this book.

When my daughter and her husband of one year moved to London, I thought the worst had happened to me. Then, within a year, she was pregnant. The loss factor multiplied. Then my first grandson, Jonah, was born. Suddenly, the romantic notion I had always had of grandparents and grandchildren living in close […]
