December 24, 2020 It's 2021 And TIME FOR ACTION! And For REMEMBRANCE
This is not a resolution story, but one of encouragement. I don't do resolutions usually. Why pick a random day and change everything? Makes no sense. But we are at a unique crossroads, individually and collectively. So instead of what I'm going to change, I want to do a list of what I hope for you.

The elephant in the room is covid. It's taken away lives. Balance. Joy. It's replaced them with fear. And even though there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we're still in the tunnel. Solidly in it, in fact. But life doesn't end, or even need to slow down. We know now how to live safely, and yes, even fully. And with respect and love for others.

I wish you health. Physical, emotional, mental. I wish you health in all ways.

I wish you life. To begin living again with new eyes and a willingness to adapt and to grow. To learn, and to teach.

I wish you peace. A world without rancor and hatred. Without endless competition and strife.

But mostly, I wish you love. Love of yourself, and from others. To others. For others. This is my greatest wish, that we can learn to love deeply and truly. I believe in the power of us. I believe in you.

2021 will bring change. Probably big change. But I will not predefine it for myself. Nor you. Wishes are just ideas. What we do with them are our choices. So instead of making one big choice on January 1st, I'm devoting myself to making lots of choices throughout the year, hopefully most of them good. And if not, I hope they teach me something.

Be happy, be safe, and be loved. We'll see ya in 2021.

December 24, 2020 Are You SEXUALLY COMPATIBLE? Were You Ever?
There’s no official definition of sexual compatibility.

But Psychology Today offers this definition: “It’s the extent to which a couple perceives they share sexual beliefs, preferences, desires, and needs with their partner".

Let's take a look at what sexual incompatibility is, figure out if it sounds like us, and look at ways to push past it.

December 23, 2020 Why Am I ALWAYS SO TIRED? Where'd All My D*** Energy Go?
The answer to all your problems is in this little ol' bottle, Vitameatavegamin. Vitameatavegamin contains vitamins, meat, megetables and vinerals. So why don't you join the thousands of happy peppy people and get a great big bottle of Vitaveatyvemeanyminimoe.
High school science quiz time! Remember the word Mitochondria? Those little Energy Producing Engines inside us? You're not helping them to help you. We actually do have enough energy, even though we're aging. In our youth, we just had a surplus. We still have enough. We're just choosing to waste it in the wrong places.

December 23, 2020 Why Do We WAIT To HEAL OURSELVES? - Vitamin D and Health Changes - How MY LIFE IMPROVED!
What do you and a classic muscle car have in common? Strange beginning to a discussion on health, but stay with me. It will make sense in a bit.

Let's dive into maintenance. Yes, maintenance. We can't live on borrowed timed, good luck, and fresh from the factory paint any more. We need to get ourselves back up to spec.

(PS. Sorry for the automotive analogy, but it will make sense. I promise)

December 21, 2020 On BELIEVING IN YOURSELF and Taming The Imposter Within
I was listening to Bon Jovi the other day and had a revelation. An epiphany. On what life is supposed to be.

What is success? Maybe I'm not a successful chef, but I'm a successful person who cooks on TV, so aren't I still a success? Does one have to be at the top of the ladder at everything, or else nothing can be deemed a success?

December 21, 2020 5 STEP Emotional House Cleaning ~ What Should We Just THROW AWAY?
Ditch the junk! Physically as well as emotionally. What are we holding on to in our 50/60s that we should probably throw away or donate?

And no, this is not another "Preach the Holy Word of Minimalism" offering. Not completely, anyway. It's more about the necessary emotional housekeeping we all need as we flip over to the second half of our lives.

December 18, 2020 The TWO FLAVORS Of Marriage ~ Which Combo Do YOU HAVE?
As people age, there are two dynamics that define a marriage. One is called support and the other strain.

Support refers to any interaction in the marriage that boosts physical or psychological well-being. Strain refers to interactions that damage that well-being. And it's in how those two sides of the coin are combined that define your relationship. And your health.

December 17, 2020 You LOST YOUR JOB And You're Over 50 ~ What Should You Do Now?
Some of our worst fears being in our 50s and over is loss of our job. Especially if we are in a market where changes happen often, like technology. We're at the top (hopefully) of our salary and there are so many below us competing for the same jobs. And they probably are willing to work for less. Throw in "off-shoring" and there's even more competition.

Yes, it's scary. Terrifying. It will bring out the worst in you, and also the best. And as glass-is-half-empty as it sounds, perhaps now is the time to start pre-planning "what if".

December 14, 2020 How To Have A GREAT RELATIONSHIP While Building IKEA Furniture
Building flat pack furniture. Two people seeing the same thing differently. How can that possibly work?

These are the tales of ... me. I'm NOT an easy person to build things with. My girlfriend Nikki also, because her spatial being and mine are polar opposites. So how did we manage to build several items this month, without a divorce?

THE PODCAST
Sort of like Life After 50, sort of not. Same basic subjects, with just a bit less holding back. Not a political show by any means, but when one sees issues caused by politicians, one has to speak, right? Someone's gotta look out for those of us over a certain age.
