Former reporter & editor, former sportswriter, former NYer, former Frenchie, current humor columnist. Author of upcoming "Building a Better Boomer."

Building a Better Boomer, with "laugh-out-loud" advice on aging, is now 20% off on Amazon—just $11.92! With, conservatively, 531 certified laughs, it's barely more than 2 cents a laugh. Where else can you get a deal like that?


The new edition of WritingAboutOurGeneration.com includes —How our generation is linked to our immediate predecessors, the beatniks —Figuring out Medicare (it ain’t simple) —Loving submarine movies and hating kale, and other thoughts on being 78 and are the Stones still rolling?


There's a new edition of WritingAboutOurGeneration.com up, with pieces on memories of experimenting with drugs, trying to win the cardiac rehab race, good news (finally!) for aging minds and the continuing evolution of gay pride.


We're back with another edition of WritingAboutOurGeneration.com, including the first in a series on the roots of the hippie Idea, how today’s college protests are like ours and how they are not, an old person ponders whether Biden is too old (spoiler alert: nope) and much more.


Are today's college protests different from our college protests? And does it matter? Some thoughts on campus unrest at writingaboutourgeneration.com/blog-2-2/prote…


WritingAboutMyGeneration.com has lots of great, new articles including: When you’re given a second chance at life, how to manage pain, the problem of not getting enough sleep and the importance of having a second (or third) act after “retirement”


writingaboutourgeneration.com has some great new stuff up, including how helping others helps, how it's never too late to be an activist and why do we have so many books?


Haven't been here recently, but thought I'd mention you can now buy Building a Better Boomer wherever books are sold and learn how #babyboomers can better hear, see, eat, exercise and even retire better. And maybe still be around for the launch of the iPhone 211. #humor #satire


Anyone know how to get a real person in customer service who can do something at @IngramSpark? fighting a Kafkaesque nightmare for 2 weeks of either nonresponse or useless boilerplate responses. My scheduled launch is jeopardized by this ongoing ineptItude. @JaneFriedman


Hey, @IngramSpark, my uploaded book title has been delayed and now flagged for no legitimate reason, which could make me miss my planned bookstore launch. I've already appealed but can't wait 2 weeks for an answer. What can u do now?


Truly, one of the great works of literature.

A very serious reaction to this medicine is rare, says the info sheet with your RX, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be the one person in 101,886 who actually gets enlarged nose hair. bit.ly/3xbKoRk #humor


Ever read the info sheets that come with your #prescriptions? Like, do not drive, operate heavy machinery or listen to talk radio while taking this medication until you can do it safely and not scream, “Are you kidding me?”bit.ly/3KrMKPN #humor
