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, […]
Older Men, Younger Women: Fact or Unicorn?
February 28, 2012
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 […]
Middle Age vs The Middle Ages
February 22, 2012
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.

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 […]
Anna Maria Island: The Beach. The Beauty. The BLTs.
January 30, 2012
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. Years ago, when the rest of Florida got the message about condos, high rises, chain restaurants, and mouse paraphernalia, Anna Maria was entirely too busy picking sand out between her toes […]

Life in the Boomer Lane 
HEBBS: You Know Who You Are
March 31, 2012
37
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 […]
