    So, we've had this Woolf Camp thing going for a few years and we're going to have another!Here you go, a post I wrote straight from our wiki: HOW ABOUT A CO-WORKING WEEKEND, A WOOLF CAMP CATCH-UP-ON-STUFF CAMP? Here's the deal - I miss working in a group setting. I work by myself and I need more humans to vibe-up my productivity. You may feel this way, too.  Read more >

    As I was surfing the blogosphere for the elder beat, I came across this Reuters report: Older white women join Kenya's sex tourists By Jeremy Clarke MOMBASA, Kenya, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Bethan, 56, lives in southern England on the same street as best friend Allie, 64. They are on their first holiday to Kenya, a country they say is "just full of big young boys who like us older girls".  Read more >

    Last month, in the entertaining blog, Linda's Backroads Musings, Blogger Linda, a "rural mail carrier" on the Kansas prairies, wrote an entry about an NPR story on aging:  Read more >

    My mission as one of the Contributing Editors for the all-encompassing topic of 'Life' is to seek narratives from everyday living as captured in the wealth of women's blogs. I am particularly intrigued with stories from the kaleidoscope of our working lives. Most compelling are the "war stories" of vocations I admire greatly but, because of a myriad of inabilities, character flaws and a lack of courage, I could never perform the work. And, at the top of that list of those occupations is the noble profession of nursing.  Read more >

    We don't know everything. I, for one, don't know Jack. I don't even who Jack is. Shows how much I know. And, should my teenager encounter this post in her web surfing, she'll be nodding her head so hard and furiously that she'll whiplash as she taunts - "Yup, that's for sure. Mom doesn't know Jack." Well, good, there's something we can agree on.  Read more >

    Baby Boomers. We started showing up in 1945 and kept rolling off the conveyor belt until 1964. There's 78 million of us, 28% of the American population. We are a huge tribe. We are the target of marketeers. We are running for president. We are in your face. We are everywhere. Everywhere except the blogosphere. At least, that's what I thought until recently.  Read more >

    I'm fond of taking pictures, but I am not a photographer. The noble endeavor of photography is an activity best avoided by non-arty philistines like me. I do, however, think of myself as an old school snapshot taker who loves to take pictures to tell a story. I am such an old school snapshot taker that I used to own and wield the lazy woman's snapshot machine, a Kodak Instamatic camera.  Read more >

    Last month, our prolific and much admired Contributing Editor for Travel, the witty and lovely Pam Mandel, offered an opposing view in her comment to a blog post where I got all jiggy in extolling the virtues and benefits of aging. I crowed: "...let go of your irrational fears of aging." And, reminded readers of the obvious: "...aging is far superior and definitely preferable to its grim and final alternative." Pam responded with her typical candor: Having embarked upon the annual exams and suffered the requisite indignities, I vote no to aging...The brain works FINE, thank you very much, but the body? At the crest of the hill, she doth protest too much. I ain't saying there's not plenty of good living to be had, but oy, my back, knees, etc. amen.  Read more >
