Baby Boomers - Keep Your Resume Dated
If you are part of the Baby Boomer generation, you may be feeling a little stressed out by the way the job market is going. You now find yourself being part of the corporate retirement crew and some younger staffer is slowly transitioning to mold into your job and weed you out.

I Didn't Do It!
I have long learned to cast away the guilt of not being able to have given my children their fantasy 'Leave It To Beaver' childhood. I have since spoken to other parents, whose children refuse to take accountability for what they perceive as mistakes in their own lives by trying to thrust the blame for their choices back to their parents.

It's My Turn
I am 50 year old woman. That is the first time I've put it in writing. I couldn't wait to be 50. None of the typical fears of aging assailed me. I've been calling myself 49-and-a-half since last September, evoking childhood dreams of all good things magically appearing at my next birthday, whereupon I would finally be "old enough."

Oh, Am I Driving? (Or - When Is A Long Time Too, Too Long?)
Seniors driving raises a lot of questions, and concerns. Are the brake and gas pedals getting further away and the steering wheel growing? Do you get lost, even on roads you know; while leaving your own driveway? It takes one nut like you to scatter it (your car) over the highway. Driving is a privilege, a pleasure, precarious at any age, but ... when should you hit the bricks with your clodhoppers or hop on a bus. You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.
