: About Me

I never finished anything in my life. I would start with great enthusiasm and little by little (yawn) I was bored. I have so many things I have to finish.

I was surfing the net looking at writing schools, because my sister happened to like a letter I had written. I found a school that gave an aptitude test and accepted only one third of their applicants. After checking the BBB and found out they were on the level I took the test.

I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and graduated high school in 1964. School was not a priority and neither was mastering the English language. So when the school called and said I was accepted I was shocked.

1 of 6

Eighty Six million baby boomers turned sixty this year. Congratulations to me! I am in the first year of the baby boomer alumnus. I have arrived. I am there. I am old. Americans spent $44.6 billion on anti-aging products and services last year. Looking at the products piled neatly on top in the drawers of my vanity along with the medicine chest, I thought, hmm that's about right. The latest products that I ordered with the promise of youthful skin contained an herb that was extracted from India. "It's a miracle" the suntanned host that looked like he was laden with Botox heralded from the ...
