  • Being Sick With Fear

    EDITORIAL NOTE: As most of you are reading this, I am winging my way to Dearborn, Michigan, to attend a two-day “futuring and trend” conference for 100 bloggers sponsored by Ford Motor Company at their world headquarters. Promising “interactive sessions...

  • Crabby Old Lady v. the Cable Company

    Crabby Old Lady does not like using her blog for rants about personal issues but every couple of years something so egregious happens that she cannot help herself. This one is about trying to reduce her cable/internet costs and let... Read More...

  • The Elder Court

    In California, the Contra Costa County Superior Court, located in Martinez, runs a unique program, The Elder Court. This is such a brilliant and important idea that you should know about it. The Honorable Joyce Cram has presided over the... Read More...

  • Me and My Elderblog

  • A Couple of Health Miracles

    I suppose “miracle” is in the eye of the beholder, but there are, to me, two health miracles all capable elders should adopt. First, last month, Washington Post wellness writer Lenny Bernstein reported on 102-year-old Ray Clark: “'I was getting.....

  • Old Age and Weight Control

    There are a whole bunch of things I want to tell you about Social Security, Medicare, some aspects of retirement, caregiving, elders and work, along with evolving cultural attitudes toward aging, scary stuff from the potential Republican candidates for...

  • A Trip to the Ford Motor Company – Part 1

    Last week, at the invitation of Ford Motor Company, I attended a two-day media conference at the company's world headquarters in Dearborn, Michigan. Billed as Forward with Ford 2011, futurists and trend spotters along with Ford's designers, scientists...

  • The Day After Thanksgiving 2014

    I hope you are all appropriately stuffed from your holiday meal yesterday and, like me, looking forward to leftovers. Given the amount of television, print and online advertising, I assume a large portion of the American population will be bargain......

  • Why Medical Prices are Sky High

    I had no intention of spending the entire morning yesterday reading a 15,000 word report on medical costs while filling 11 pages with notes. Come on, it's Time magazine, for god's sake. I stopped reading it years ago due to... Read More...

  • Elder Meetup?

    As noted yesterday, I'm on hiatus until Saturday to get some blog housekeeping done. As filler today, I'm repeating a story from 2010 about a blog meetup here at my home. It was loads of fun to spend the day... Read More...
