Guerrilla Aging: Lounging At the Bottom of the Learning Curve, a guest post by Paula J Wray
Paula is the author of PaulaJWray. In her own words, “I am a writer. Mostly humor. Sometimes I vent and sometimes I wax spiritual, philosophical, or poetic.

What Are Men Good For?
January 26, 2015
The secret to longevity depends on who you ask. People who have actually made it to an advanced age will credit alcohol or no alcohol, sex or no sex, red meat or no red meat, whatever or not-whatever.

Past Life Aggression
January 19, 2015
Life in the Boomer Lane has been giving some thought lately to past life regression. She has noticed that a lot of people (herself included) have characteristics that no other family members have.

Guerrilla Aging: Nourishment Comes in Many Forms
January 16, 2015
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.

December 8, 2014
For those of you who have been living inside a broken pay phone booth since 1962, you may not have been aware that James Bond likes his women plentiful, available, and pretty darn nubile. The average age of the men who have played Bond over the last 200 years, has been 43.5. The average age […]
Guerrilla Aging: Advanced Style
November 22, 2014
Ari Seth Cohen is a stalker, of the finest kind. For some years, he has been following people on the streets of New York, and asking them if he can take their photos. His motives are simple: to find ordinary people of extraordinary style. Given that we are talking about New York, here, and […]
Love, Marriage, and Other Bad Stuff

Since 1990, the divorce rate for Americans over the age of 50 has doubled, and more-than-doubled for those over the age of 65.
