Survey Says in Life After 60

Marriage: A fancy word for adopting an overgrown male child who cannot be handled by his parents anymore....Let the fun begin. I am convinced that no matter how long a couple dates you will...

The Fine Line in Life After 60

There’s a fine line between a genius and an idiot. That may have been true at one time but today that line is blurred. Much like my vision. I live in a world that I was not born into. It happ...

That Smarts! in Life After 60

Technology is a double-edged sword. While it does make our lives simpler, it can make them more difficult. Take the phone for instance. One does not need to memorize a phone number. You simply...


Life will throw you fastballs. It will throw you a changeup. And then there is the curve. To be honest the odds of me hitting a 100 MPH fastball are no better than winning the lottery. We set...

Of Mice and Men in Life After 60

The best-laid plans. Seldom does anything go according to plan. I planned to be retired by 53. I also planned on till death do us part. Well, forces beyond my control changed those plans. Mur...


Full discloser: I tend to take this whole literal thing way too far, but it helps defeat the boredom. Some once said variety is the spice of life. If that is true I am about as exciting as vani...

Common Sense in Life After 60

Are we born with it or do we develop it over time? I suppose the opinions on this subject will vary just as they do with the whole which came first the chicken or the egg. But since it’s my blog...


Our Society, by large will be extinct in another generation or two. Mighty bold talk for such a little pilgrim? Sorry, I was channeling the Duke. (Wayne, not Ellington) Back to reality. The sta...


Aah, Yes, René Descartes, that wacky French philosopher, mathematician, and scientist with a misspelled girl’s first name! He thinks therefore he is. I think therefore I get a headache. And th...

Pavlov's Dog in Life After 60

The pavlovian theory is a learning procedure that involves pairing a stimulus with a conditioned response. ( And all this time I thought it was the name of a few dates I went on!! Just Kidding)...


I won’t say that love is much different at 16 than it is at 61. (Ha, a palindrome with numbers. Okay actually more like dyslexia.) But perhaps it is. Because the older, the wiser, the more we...


I have never been able to do this. I don’t pick up on hints or subtle indirect methods to get a point across. I am plain spoken, direct to the point. That I understand. And because I don’t re...

Take Two in Life After 60

If life was only like the movies. Not so much the content, but the “retakes”. You blow the line, just stop and do another take. But life doesn’t work that way. You only get one chance to get ...


I don’t know which is worse. To be in love with the right person at the wrong time or to be in love with the wrong person at the right time. Both will make you miserable. At times I feel like I...


One never understands a situation, or a subject until one becomes personally involved. Such is the topic of discussion today. It’s one of those that I always laughed off as an excuse not to ta...


I used to believe in Happily Ever After. I also believed that “till death do us part” was the ultimate sacrifice. Then a funny thing happened on the way to both. I found out they were both lie...


Have you ever eaten an Oyster? Me neither. They do not appeal to my palette. And when I was 18, as the world lay before me, it didn’t appeal to me either. I suddenly realized that I was not p...


(Disclaimer: Suicide occurs every 40 seconds. If you or someone you know needs help please call Call 1-800-273-8255- National Suicide Hotline- Your life matters!) I understand suicide is a da...

17 Again in Life After 60

That magical year, just past 16 and just before 18, when your whole world changes. Not a child, but not quite an adult. Innocence. While there doesn’t seem to be a great milestone to celebrate...

I Press On in Life After 60

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own ....Ah, yes, the lengths one will go through to make something their own. I have always maintained t...


Lucky 7! Today I celebrate 7 years of life after my second heart attack in 6 days. In some respect my life has changed so much since that time, and in others, it simple remains the same. I gues...

Vegas Odds in Life After 60

What are the odds of two people, who live 6 1/2 hours apart, meeting, marrying, and living happily ever after? I guess you would have to break each part down separately. Now what are the odds t...


Sometimes I feel like Samuel Beckett wrote my story of waiting on love when he wrote Waiting for Godot. I’ve been waiting for a long time, (well, long to me) and love still hasn’t shown up.) I ...


“Woman’s faults are many…Men’s are but two..everything they say and everything they do.” Okay, now that I got that out of my system let me move on to more important things. Most men, by nature,...


I am a computer nerd, (Tech) by choice. I do speak geek. So I know that cache is pronounced cash. When talking to my fellow geeks, we understand each other. But add a non-geek to the mix and i...
