Time Goes By

  • Medicare Changes for 2012

    A short, little post today to remind you that the Medicare Open Enrollment period begins and ends earlier this year than in the past. The dates are from 15 October 2011 through 7 December 2011. So mark your calendars if... Read More...
  • When Blog Friends Go Missing

    Like much younger people who participate in blogging and other social media, we elders have online friends who are every bit as important to us as those we know in “real life.” A difference, however, is that we have a... Read More...
  • Last Acts of Kindness

    Here we are, you and I, hanging out on a blog that states right at the top that it is about “what it's really like to get old” and yet we don't talk about death and dying – or hardly... Read More...
  • Two Books for Your Heart

    You may have noticed that I don't do book reviews. The main reason is that there are so many bad ones related to aging and I don't see the point of writing about a book I threw across the room... Read More...
  • Food and Weight (Again)

    Over the weekend, as I caught up with reading email and blog comments I had missed while I was down with the flu last week, I was surprised at how many requests there are for more information about my weight... Read More...
  • ELDER MUSIC: 1964

    You never know who you're going to meet on the internet and I came to know Peter Tibbles (bio here) via email over the past couple of years. His extensive knowledge of most genres of music and his excellent taste... Read More...
  • INTERESTING STUFF: 24 September 2011

    I'm just back from a flu-fogged week during which there was hardly any media in my life. Hence, a shorter Interesting Stuff today with a bit of an editorial toward the end. WHITE HOUSE HOME BREW A couple of weeks... Read More...
  • Alzheimer's on Television

    As Ann Shaw (who blogs here) remarked on one of my flu fogged posts earlier this week: “There's nothing like enforced rest in bed to get you thinking.” She is right, you know. All sorts of odd and (occasionally) interesting... Read More...
  • Listening to Our Bodies

    We don't give our bodies enough credit for what they do. Think about it. Cut your hand? Clean it up, put a Band-aid on it and in a few days it's fine. Bang your knee and raise a purple bruise?... Read More...
  • Age and Aspiration

    Okay, before I get into this post, please recall that I am spending most of my time in bed with chills, aches, pains and general low-level feverishness so I have no sense of how well I'm thinking. You'll have to... Read More...
  • Bear with Me Through This Bug

    Just as I'm all revved up for a leap back into blogging, wham! Some kind of bug hit me Monday morning bringing along aches, pains, a cotton head and general flu-ishness. Maybe if I'd taken the flu shot last week... Read More...
  • Re-Entry to Elderblogging

    Well, hi there. It's nice to be back among you. On 7 September, I announced a 10-day withdrawal from blogging. I had no plans to travel, no urgent or time-consuming needs or desires, no house guests. Nothing, in fact, except... Read More...
  • ELDER MUSIC: Jones

    You never know who you're going to meet on the internet and I came to know Peter Tibbles (bio here) via email over the past couple of years. His extensive knowledge of most genres of music and his excellent taste... Read More...
  • INTERESTING STUFF: 17 September 2011

    Well, if you had television on any of the news channels last weekend, there certainly was an orgy of 9/11 remembrances. What is it about zero-ending anniversaries that we love so much? I'm just as guilty as everyone when they... Read More...
  • Lyn Burnstine at ESP

    I'm on hiatus until Monday 19 September. The Elder Storytelling Place continues as will Interesting Stuff on Saturday and Peter Tibbles' Elder Music on Sunday. At The Elder Storytelling Place today, Terry Hamburg: Gratitude Read More...
