Musings of a former hula hoop champion
Boomers rule. But you already knew that.
Experts from the April 1 Aging in America Conference have announced that Baby Boomers will transform aging in America over the next decade. Moderator Ken Dychtwald, president and CEO of the consulting firm AgeWaveBy 2020, puts it bluntly: “Anyone who thinks [the boomers] will turn 65 and be the same as the generation before are missing […]
Sex and the Sixty (Year Old): Show Me Yours and I’ll Show You Mine
April 1, 2012
The long and illustrious history of photography began many centuries before the first photograph was actually produced. Brilliant, creative minds like Chinese philosopher Mo Ti and Greek mathematicians Aristotle and Euclid described a pinhole camera in the 5th and 4th centuries BC. The first actual “modern” photograph of people,“Boulevard du Temple”, was taken by Louis […]
HEBBS: You Know Who You Are
March 31, 2012
Be warned that there’s a new acronym on the street: HEBBS. This is not to be confused with Donald Hebbs (a Canadian psychologist), Bobby Hebbs (singer and songwriter of the hit song “Sunny”) or Hebb’s Auto Service in Halifax, NS. HEBBS, High-Earning Baby Boomers, are defined as Baby Boomers who live in households that have […]
Elise Testone!
March 27, 2012
Elise Testone is a young woman with remarkable singing talent. She is also my daughter-in-law’s best friend. I wrote about Elise when she was chosen for this season’s American Idol competition.

Putting the Shades of Grey Trilogy to Bed
March 26, 2012
The following is the third and final installment of my posts (Fifty Shades of Grey, Fifty Shades of Bondage) on the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy. I’ve been presented with a difficult conundrum. This differs from an easy conundrum in that it is harder. Here it is: How does one continue to speak about a […]
The Fault in Our Stars: A Review
March 22, 2012
A funny thing happened to me on my way to trashing the third book in the three book series, Fifty Shades of Grey. Between changing poopy diapers, feeding a toddler and an eight month old and making puppets of the ten plagues with which God smote upon the Egyptians and then performing a puppet show […]
Thrust into London for Deep and Penetrating Research
March 13, 2012
Three people have now expressed their desire to have me continue with my posts on the Fifty Shades of Grey books. In my literary universe, this constitutes a veritable groundswell, and I’m up to the challenge.

The Aging of the High School Reunion
March 10, 2012
Sometimes aging can make us feel like we are naked, smeared with bacon grease and deposited near a den of rabid grizzlies who have just completed a research project involving the effects of a prolonged vegan diet. While it might seem that there is no way out, know this: There is no way out. OK, […]

Fifty Shades of Bondage
March 6, 2012
Ask any woman what she wants in a partner and she will say “Trust. Caring. Communication.” But the success of Fifty Shades of Grey has shown otherwise. What we all want is to be ravished from behind, while wearing a blindfold and doggy collar. In Part One, I introduced the book, Fifty Shades of Grey. […]
Fifty Shades of Grey
March 3, 2012
Betty of Heifer 12X12, has alerted me to a book touted on the Today Show and across the planet, 50 Shades of Grey. I knew it had something to do with eroticism and SM, so I intended to do some deep research before writing this post. But, like the team on Fox News, I believe […]
