Renee at Life In The Boomer Lane is one of the funniest writers on the interwebz. Her preferred topic of choice, as you may guess from the title of her blog, is life from the perspective of a Woman Of A Certain Age. Speaking as a fellow traveler in that lane, I can only say she nails it every time. Truth with humor.
When she told me about her new venture – hosting guest writers to talk about reality as we age – and asked me to contribute, my first reaction was, “What, don’t you ever sleep, woman?” My second reaction was to be flattered, mixed with a healthy dose of fear.
This series is about real. My thing is funny. Funny makes a pretty good shield to hide behind, so stepping out into the real is a little scary.
My post, Becoming The Guardians At The Door, is up on Life In The Boomer Lane today. Check it out and, if you don’t know Renee, settle in to stay.
p.s. Head on over there even if you’re under 50. Who knows…you might learn something, whippersnappers.
Will do!
You’ll love her blog!
I’m sure I will. Thanks for the recommendation. I follow so many blogs, I really shouldn’t be subscribing to more, but so many great ones are out there…
I’ll be over there shortly, first I’ve got to find my tri-focals. No telling what kind of font this Renee gal might be using.
Ha ha! What a great idea! Mental note to self: all posts about aging to be in 40 point font.
FYI: I did comment over there too, but I’m guessing the comment didn’t go to you.
I didn’t see it – I’ll trot on over. So how are the stats post-FP, Dave? Feeling any performance pressure?
Performance pressure?! At my age?!?
Decent numbers for my 18 heads post…I’m not expecting too much.
Whippersnapper you say? I’m going to make the most of that label, as by your reckoning I can wear it for another 8 years, woohoo! Now I shall pop over and see what you have to say on that other chick’s blog…
You’re a mere baby! I’ve got shoes older than you! (etc, etc, on and on in the same, you’re oh-so-young vein)
Heading over – can’t miss that!
Thanks for checking it out.
You do so many things so well, Peg…
looking forward to it!
Aren’t you sweet!
I’m on my way!
I went, I read, I commented. Your dutiful fan!
Thanks, Sis!
