Guerrilla Aging: Nourishment Comes in Many Forms
I’ve just returned from five days in Florida, visiting two dear friends, Joyce and Jean. These women were also my co-authors for the two books we wrote about life after 50.

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 […]

Don’t go looking for the Denny’s Seniors Specials on Anna Maria Island. Anna Maria is located 10 miles north of Sarasota on Florida’s Gulf Coast.
