    NEVER ONCE do I remember my parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles mentioning anything related to growing old.  They gracefully accepted this natural process, so unlike today’s society who seems to be fighting it with every anti-age remedy out there.  Boy, are the pharmaceutical companies and manufacturers of beauty products ever-getting rich, richer, and richest.  If…

    Peddling in Pain             In their country it’s only by “suggestion” that those speeding maniacs, aka Italian drivers, heed the imaginary yield and stop signs, yet still knowing that, what do we two stupido senior citizens sisters do?  Hop on bikes to explore the sights of Europe’s “Eternal City”—Roma.             Sure, we have a guide,…

    Now the subtle signs are beginning.  Nothing big, and should I even mention them?  Darn right I should, because you see, I’ve never quite been on the cusp of ‘old age’ before.  Cusp, hell, I’m in the throes of it!  Actually, you’d never ever know it if I whizzed by you in a speeding convertible…

    Make no mistake, in our active senior living community, our early Tuesday morning Breakfast Club isn’t made up of teenage juvenile delinquents like in the 1985 hit movie The Breakfast Club, but rather seniors ages 70’s, 80’,s and one incredible 92-year-old. Lenny is a retired principal from an inner-city big school. This treasure has an acute brain,…

    Society doesn’t embrace the older stage of life.
