| Introduction | After working in through the '90s and '00s in print journalism, I now embrace the fact that (although you'll still have to pry the newspaper out of my inky hands!) the Internet is the future of our industry. I wrote a weekly newspaper column for many years and my brain still comes up with column topics, so this is my place to release them into the universe. I am "over the hill" physically and immature mentally, and find that combination makes for some interesting musings on aging, mortality, sanity and what it means to be alive today. My latest aging heroes are my mother who is 98, Maya Angelou, Joan Rivers, Betty White and Mick Jagger. My mottos for aging are: "Use it or lose it," "Don't stop laughing or you'll start crying," and my nod to Nora Ephron, "I'm not happy about my neck." |
