Summer is here and nothing tastes better than a cold, crisp salad on these hot days. Salads aren’t often a “low-cal” menu option once you add all of the fun stuff, but they sure make for a quick satisfying meal. The wedge salad is an iconic steakhouse staple and so easy to make at home. If you’re trying to cut calories, go light on the dressing and cheese. Moderation is key, right? Not a bleu chee…
If you’ve recently hit the big 5-0, you’re just 50 more years away from hitting a century. It’s time to think about a healthy diet if you want to live that long! Men at this age are susceptible to various diseases, like high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, and prostate cancer. Okay, this might sound a little scary to you, but you don’t have to be one of those 50 plus men who succumbs to…
Don Rickles was a study in contrasts. The man who made a career out of sarcasm and insults and who has been variously tagged with the monikers “The Merchant of Venom” and “Mr. Warmth,” couldn’t have been a nicer guy… offstage. But onstage, it was a different matter altogether. During Rickles’ show (he did about 20 a year, give or take before he died in 2017); a sort of blood fever took hold as his…

I come from a first-generation Italian family that included my Aunt Gloria. My father worked three jobs when I was a young kid. I hardly saw him while I was growing up. My dad only had an 8 th grade education, but he and my mother were determined—there was never a question or doubt—that my sister and I would go to college. And so we did. Our parents worked hard and sacrificed much to make that hap…

Getting outside can provide numerous benefits for both physical and mental health. As we age, it’s important to make sure we continue to get outside as much as possible. There’s so many things you can do and so many health benefits! Here are some of the key benefits:…

Can we talk about sex beyond midlife? I remember as a kid when I first learned about human anatomy and “where babies come from” my reaction was ick! Gross! That can’t be true! Then puberty, my mom explained the burden of being a girl, and I was disgusted. Then in high school sex education class just as our hormones were surging, we got the scoop on our biology, but two things were missing from the…

The word lingerie conjures up nights of pleasure and libidinous playtime. Lingerie is sexy, it’s hot, and it’s powerful enough to divert quarts of blood to men’s nether regions and turn flesh into blue twisted steel without a touch. Whose idea was it, this sexy lingerie thing? You ask most men, and they’ll say women. You ask most women, and they’ll say men! It’s not that women don’t like sexy ling…
Eradicating the scourge of Customary and Imperial units of measurement from all textbooks and ancillary learning materials for all students in all grades is getting a little too high on the “to do” list of American schools. “Metric is the only way now,” say our educators, pointing to the dire need for science and math skills in the increasingly competitive global job market. However, I would recom…
I’ve seen a couple of lists on the internet claiming to show what Baby Boomers think is cool. These lists are written by younger people — Millennials or Gen Xers or Gen Zers or whomever — and so of course the clear message is that whatever a Baby Boomer thinks is cool has got to be the most uncool thing in the world. Some of the items on these lists are set-ups. Mom jeans, for example. Has anyon…
Your career comfort zone will fool you into thinking that it’s better to do nothing than to take action. If you are unhappy in your current position or are in the midst of a career transition, take the opportunity to move beyond the illusory stability of your comfort zone. To better understand how the comfort zone works, it might help to remember the old parable of the frog and the pot of water. T…
Monday morning at 6am, you chug coffee, roll out of bed, and drag yourself to the shower. After a blissful weekend, nothing bites more than getting up to face the real world on a Monday morning. For some, however, there is an added caveat: their retired partner is happily reading the news in their pajamas. How do you motivate yourself to schlep to the office when your better half has a day of read…
*It is estimated that 14% of soldiers experience depression after deployment, and it is likely that this number is underreported as many don’t seek help. How do middle-aged men know they have fallen into a depression? Are the symptoms any different from other individuals and age groups? Actually, they’re not. Common symptoms of depression can include a lack of motivation, difficulty concentrating,…
As a baby boomer, most of my pop cultural touchstones date back to the 1950s through the 1970s. Bob Dylan will always speak more to me than Jay Z; the Kardashians are only names to me. What is it they do, exactly? I have no idea. My all-time favorite actors and actresses are long since deceased; some of my favorite movies were filmed in black and white. But many of them — along with popular songs,…
When my family and I lived on City Island, New York, a little island in the Bronx that’s the farthest northeast point in New York City, our next door neighbor — a born and bred City Island resident then in her 60s or 70s — made a startling confession: she had only once in her life ventured into Manhattan, and that was to visit a friend in the hospital there. If you walked a short distance down the…
