Living in Reverse

Posted September 12, 2009 3:58 PM

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? Death. What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first -- get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years Read more...

Dinosaur in Mirror Still Young at Heart

Posted September 10, 2009 1:30 PM

It took me 50-odd years to behold my own grizzled countenance in the mirror and admit, as comedian Wanda Sykes likes to put it, "I old." The "50" part seems absurd to me. My jump shot remains unstoppable and I disgust my cardiologist. It's the oddness of the past half-century that leaves me grinning like an Osmond. See that? Osmond. Like you would know what I Read more...

Memory Loss: What's Normal, What's Not

Posted August 24, 2009 12:51 PM

One challenge doctors have with diagnosing Alzheimer's disease is that memory loss can be caused by many medical conditions. Depression and anxiety can cause us to forget things.

Is Your Hair Taking a Break?

Posted August 4, 2009 10:45 AM

BOSTON -- For many women, their hair is one of their most defining characteristics.

Maintaining Good Mental Health as We Age

Posted July 27, 2009 1:57 PM

It is probably safe to say that the Baby Boom generation, the first wave of which is just now contemplating senior citizenship, will follow the words that poet Dylan Thomas wrote to his dying father: "Do not go gentle into that good night." But raging against the dying of the light, as Thomas urged his father to do, is going to mean "a significant shift in the paradigm about Read more...

Posted June 2, 2009 10:30 AM

NEW YORK -- It's time for the bathing beauties to march in full force to the nearest waterside oasis and take a perch in the sun.
