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’m happy to give it because, in spite of what I write about Susan’s misadventures in the dating world, I believe that online dating works. I, along with countless other formerly single people, found love online. I’m also […]
The Wiggles:A Guest Post by Nancy Roman
February 22, 2013
Nancy is the author of a blog called, NotQuiteOld, which is sort of how everyone of a certain age feels because old is something that those “other” people are, not us. Old is like 20 years away.

Peg, of Peg-o-Leg’s Ramblings, is one of those bloggers who regularly knocks me down to size, which is completely depressing since I am 5’1″ tall and usually totter around in high heels and big hats so no one notices.

Mimi, the author of Waiting for the Karma Truck, has asked me not to include her words about the karma truck in her bio, here. But, because I am a ten-year-old boy at heart, I am doing exactly that: “What do I want to tell you? I guess the same thing I say to everyone […]

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 […]
