Older Men, Younger Women: Fact or Unicorn?

February 28, 2012

68

Way back in time, before most people had ever heard of Harold Camping or Denny’s Maple Bacon Sundae, I wrote a post titled  “The Myth of Older Men Wanting Younger Women.”   I didn’t intend it to be a tired diatribe of how men over a certain age want young babes. What surprised me was not […]

Now that the Academy Awards have ended, and I can surgically suction my eyeballs from the TV screen, you’d think my life would be exceptionally quiet, reverting back to the highlight of each week being trash/recycling night. Not so.  A second event will be bringing Hollywood right into my family room, this time in the […]

Middle Age vs The Middle Ages

February 22, 2012

48

Many people nowadays confuse being middle aged with being in the Middle Ages.  They can be forgiven for a certain amount of confusion, since neither group of people had births recorded on iPhones and immediately posted on social media networks around the planet.  Neither group grew up with Tickle Me Elmo and Teenage Mutant Ninja […]

My GPS Has A Different Accent Than Yours

(The following is the 11th in my series, “Old Posts to Dredge out on Slow Weekends Because When I Posted Them Originally People Cared More About the Economy and World Peace Than My Blog.” This one, though, was actually my first Freshly Pressed post, so a lot of people did see it.) I have a GPS […]

Downton Abbey: Open for Monkey Business

February 2, 2012

30

Downton Abbey, now in its second season, is the latest crazy-popular PBS fare.  Set in Edwardian England, it was  created to bring Americans to the realization that we are a nation of slovenly, ill-speaking, processed food-eating, and reality TV-viewing dunderheads.  But it’s important to get some things straight right off the bat. No matter how […]

How to Be An 80-Year-Old Pole Dancer

February 1, 2012

For those Boomers who are contemplating spending their retirement years as monthly Diamond Plus cruisers, take note: You might soon be the only people onboard the cruise ship. In a survey of 1500 middle class Americans, Harris Interactive found that 25% say they will “need to work until at least age 80” to live comfortably […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 5

January 20, 2012

38

I’ve had a lot of fun writing about Susan this week.  Many of you, consisting of one person, asked if Susan was real.  I have actually asked her that same question on several occasions, and she has always considered thoughtfully and then told me to shut up. Susan and I have been friends since 1998.  […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 4

January 19, 2012

When my friend Susan goes on actual dates, she does exactly the same things that most people do.  She goes out to dinner. She goes to the movies. She goes to female impersonator shows. But somehow, the end result always seems to veer off course. Sometimes, she and the guy never even make it to […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 3

January 18, 2012

37

When Susan arranges her first meetings with men, she has to make sure she meets the right person.  This is because she has, on at least one occasion, had an entire conversation with the wrong person in a public place.  His wife, when she arrived, was not amused. Susan’s way of making sure that this […]

Sex and the Sixty (Year Old) Pt 2

January 17, 2012

32

For those of you who believe my friend Susan hasn’t given online dating enough of a chance, rest assured she has been doing this since the original site, cavematch.com. Thus far, she has only excluded the sites that would result in the FBI confiscating her computer. After she is contacted by men, and, after she […]
