I Will Not Be Invisible

December 19, 2010

54

When Life in he Boomer Lane and her friends decided to write a book about women over 50, LBL asked a lot of women her age what sucked about getting older.  She expected to hear the sagging/bagging/dragging thing or maybe the memory thing or maybe even the empty nest thing.  She didn’t hear any of that.  […]

Boomer Sex Ain't Boomin'

November 24, 2010

28

An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently.  Now Husband Dan and I unshackled ourselves from the headboard  in our bedroom long enough to read it.  I’ll summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school.  The first sentence says it all: The U.S. […]

I’ve Become A Cliche

October 20, 2010

  I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, minding my own business and looking like I do every morning: skimpy tee shirt with no bra (I am, shall we say, well-endowed and I should actually be sleeping in a bra), ratty pajama bottoms, electrified-looking hair.  My Now Husband Dan had left to fondle his boat.  […]

                                                               Contrary to what many believe, feminism didn’t begin at the Miss America Pagent of 1968 when a group of women burned their bras. Over 500 years before the scent of smoking undergarments, women were writing and speaking on behalf of their rights.  The modern suffragist movement began in the eighteenth century in France.  In  1920, […]

I’ve just returned from the 2010 AARP Convention in Orlando.  My two co-authors and I were featured speakers, along with a long list of people you have actually heard of.  That didn’t stop us.  It never has.  We just do our own thing, which is to be shining stars in a universe of our own […]
