As a baby boomer, I grew up with Gloria Steinem putting a new face on feminism and with the echo of Dr. King's words ringing through my ears on racism....
Worthlessness

When I first started writing this blog I said that I was Ready, Willing and Much More Stable. Apparently, I was just going through a phase.
Can This Be Love?
September 3, 2008
I have continued to date The Butler I told you about last May. It’s not like me to be so silent about my dating exploits, but this one seems like a keeper. I guess I was afraid I would jinx it if I wrote about him while we were still dating....
Sometimes You've Just Got To Laugh Until You Cry
July 10, 2008
As a Boomer Girl I find that I am constantly on the edge, facing my fears and trying to see past them. Today I faced a new fear.... laughing so hard that I wet myself!
The Butler
May 16, 2008
My determination to stop dating seems to have had the opposite effect. My e-mail box is full of requests from cyber-daters. I refuse to miss the promise of my prince, so I decide to meet each and every one of them.
Setting Goals
April 22, 2008
Things have been busy lately. The season is trying to change, and so am I. I have been taken aback by my friend’s illness and my days seem to be spinning out of control. The spring is a great time for new beginnings. I have come to the realization that I am getting too damn old and life is too damn short, so I have made a decision.
Recognizing Love
February 27, 2008
While I am trying to find out whether or not dating can bring me the love of my life or mend my wounded ego, I am confronted with true sorrow. One of my best friends in the world calls to let me know that her brother is very ill.
Pie and Disappointment

My Real Live Man has turned out to be a bit of a disappointment.
A Real Live Man
September 3, 2007
For ages now, my only source of "date-able" men has been the Internet. Even my Homecoming King reconnected with me on the World Wide Web. Now I feel like a fish out of water. While I am waiting for the Homecoming King to decide if he is coming to visit ...
The Homecoming King
August 22, 2007
I have spoken with the Homecoming King at least once a week since we connected on the Web. We have been having fun on the phone and sharing dating secrets and personal stories about our lives and families. We talk so easily, that when it came time to go to ...
Homecoming
July 16, 2007
I know it’s been a while since you’ve heard from me, but for the last couple of months, while I’ve been attempting to date and find the love of my life, an old crush tracked me down on Classmates.com. I couldn’t believe my eyes when his e-mail arrived. I ...
Text Messaging
June 18, 2007
Finally, Westchester Man called for a second date and we made plans to meet for lunch the following week. Over the next few days, an annoying habit seemed to be surfacing. It seemed that the only way he would communicate was by sending me a text message on my ...
Westchester Man
May 29, 2007
The last few dates have been more than unusual, and I thought it was time for a bit of a break. I needed to take a breath, to step back and be one with my hot flashes. I still perused mail from possible suitors and even responded to a few ...
Don't Bring Your Toys to the Table
April 27, 2007
It is spring in New York. There’s really nothing quite like it. The trees are in bloom in Central Park, and the weather is absolutely divine. It is clear that I still have a terrible case of Spring Fever. It is also possible that my hormones are running amok since ...
Wanna Play Doctor?
April 11, 2007
Spring is here, and in spite of the unseasonably chilly temperatures, I definitely have spring fever. I am clearly not alone. Suddenly, after what seems like months of inactivity, my Internet dating mailbox is filling up. Men of all shapes, ages and sizes seem to be lining up. It is ...
Jakarta Man
March 15, 2007
Upon my return from a week in paradise, I once again began searching the World Wide Web for my elusive man. I search for the man who may be the missing link; the love of my life. I saw my potential love’s profile and photo and decided that the thing ...
A Week in Paradise
March 1, 2007
An opportunity fell in my lap last week that I could not let pass me by. A dear friend has been working in Hawaii for the past month and there was room for me to stay for a week. Hawaii is a long way to travel for a single week, ...
My New Crush
February 12, 2007
The last couple of weeks have been as cold as I remember in New York City. I however have been hotter than hell. Clearly my hormones are running amok and the hot flashes are helping to protect me against the cold. Along with the hot flashes my raging hormones seem ...
Mr. Right
February 1, 2007
Does Mr. Right exist? Am I kidding myself by thinking that he can be found in cyberspace or, in fact, at all?
Misrepresentation
January 24, 2007
As I was recovering from my date with the Athlete, I received an e-mail from a very handsome man. He was age-appropriate and gainfully employed in the business world. After the exchange of several e-mails we agreed to meet for a date. I didn’t think I could survive another evening like the one I had with the Athlete, so I named the place and agreed to meet for a drink and no more.
