55 and Still Alive

September 3rd, 2012 · 2 Comments

I had planned to blog on the morning of my 55th birthday, which was yesterday, but instead I spent 3 hours undoing the damage done by some incompetent hackers, who managed to break my website, yet failed to correctly display their links to information on a wide variety of pharmaceutical products. I still have their [...]

When I’m 54

September 2nd, 2011 · 4 Comments

Today is my 54th birthday. I started this blog 4 years ago, shortly after my 50th birthday. It’s been neglected, mostly because I’m either posting boring stuff on my business blog, or I’m honing the art of drive-by snark on facebook.

Happy Birthday, Madonna

August 16th, 2008 · 2 Comments

Another shout from the pasture

June 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments

I posted the other day about age discrimination. A 50+ friend of mine who has struggled with this issue commented to me via email—he didn’t want to make a public post lest some employer find it via Google. He also sent me a link to this article. The gist of the article is (1) people [...]

Retirement begins at 40

June 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Facebook, the fast-growing company that now boasts the world’s biggest social-networking site, is planning to move from its ad-hoc, five-building “urban campus” in downtown Palo Alto to a nearby property that can accommodate the company’s expanding workforce.

Cranky crone at the gym

June 23rd, 2008 · No Comments

I’ve been going to a gym or pool pretty much consecutively for about 30 years, but tonight was the first time I had to leave in less than 10 minutes because I was becoming physically ill. The booming bass from the spinning class at the downtown YMCA was so loud that I couldn’t take it [...]
