This is my first "blog" (did I spell it right- you can probably tell this is new to me).  I just finished a round of golf at one of our nice muni courses here in San Antonio.  It had been several months since I had played this particular course:...

IF YOU'RE A GOLFER, you know The Masters Championship tees off this week, on April 10th. Whether you're an avid golfer or just make special appearances on the course, you'll appreciate MenScience's hole-in-one skin and health tips.   For increased...

This was the summer I finally did it – something I’ve been putting off for several years. I know you’re sitting on the edge of your seat going, “What? What?” Well, here it is:  I bought myself an otcbaibs. You’re...

 On Saturday, October 28, 2006 I woke up to a wind-driven rain storm.  What a day for a book signing with four other local authors in a nearby bookstore!  But - it was the kind of day “bookaholics” liked to spend browsing, so my...

The Pensacola and Jacksonville Local Senior Games qualifiers have kicked off the fall series of Senior Games events leading up to the State Championships in December.  Eight local senior games events will be contested through mid-November and...

IrongeezelleSays™: “Ablution confessional” By Tatjana Eggink   Remember the movie, As Good As It Gets? Remember the obsessive-compulsive (OCD, in psychology speak) character, portrayed by Jack Nicholson, who washes his...

I’m just curious, that’s all.  I know where socks go, one at a time after you put them in the laundry.  The sock thief, of course.  Come on!  EVERYone knows that.  But, that’s all I know.  For example,...

We talk a lot about the rapidly changing culture of aging and how anything is now possible. That’s a good thing, right?For many American’s, the surprising answer is “no!”  One woman recently told me, “I don’t...

About a year ago, Fred and I wrote and ebook with some of our networking friends here in Florida called Expanding Your Circles Of Influence.  This ebook was about the basics of law of attraction in your business, but more importantly about...

I walk into a tasting with the usual suspects at our Thursday Wine Group. This is a search to find great wines at great prices that are from small, cool and groovy vineyards to serve at several great restaurants in Orlando. This is the industrial...

Nothing is normal at our home when it comes to celebrations. Yesterday it was our 13yr old daughter' s birthday. As is the custom here, you get to choose what the family cooks for your birthday meal. Everybody kicks in and it's a great party. Of...

To say thank you to everyone who helped or contributed to “Learning Later, Living Greater,” I mailed about 85 copies of the book out.  Here are some of the comments.  It certainly is nice to read them.   Harry R. (Rick)...

As some of your already know, I am a motorcycle enthusiast. To be on the open road with the wind in my face gives me a feeling of really being alive and in touch with nature. The other day a small group of us over 50 year old riders decided to take...

As a 45 yr old guy trying to compete with kids 20 years my junior, I thought the decision that my league made (Lehigh Valley Men's Senior Baseball League) to switch to wood bats would quickly end my baseball career. I thought that I needed all the help I...

Growing Bolder is often about finding ways to do more with less. While we’re all milking every mile from our gas tanks, there is one community in America that seems unconcerned about the price of gas. Truth is, many who live there don’t even...

Lots of friends ask me where or how to buy wine. Where is easy. It's how that's a little tricky out there. There are tons of groceries ( Publix in FL is top), Big Box Clubs ( Costco has the best variety there), Big Retailers ( in FL there is ABC, Wine...

Over the course of any marriage, your spouse does or says things that make you think “How could he do this to me?” or “If he really loved me, he wouldn’t have said that” or “This is so hurtful, I can’t...

There is no excuse. This will be remembered as one of the greatest gaffes in the history of irresponsible journalism. It makes 1948’s “Dewey Defeats Truman” headline seem quaint. Someone's head should roll. Like many of you, I awoke this...

I asked the group in the last blog if anyone knew what the fifth flavor was....As you may remember, the first four are sour, sweet, salty and bitter. The Fifth taste ( not to be confused with the Fifth Element, a movie with Bruce Willis) is called...

I have never met a sea turtle that I didn’t like – I did, however, meet one once who didn’t particularly like me; in fact, I think she thought that I was trying to kill her babies, but I wasn’t. Here’s what happened: sea...

Can you believe all the celebrities who died in '07? I'm sure you saw the names. Every newspaper in the country ran a list back around new years of those who didn't make it out alive. Don't you hate that? It's enough to bring anybody down. Of course, it's...

Remember when there used to be gas stations at every intersection? Today, they’ve been replaced by pharmacies.  A government study showed more than 40 percent of Americans are on at least one prescription drug and the number continues to...

It was artist Andy Warhol who said "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." That was before reality TV. Now it seems like we'll all have our own show. What else can explain 20-year-old Brooke Hogan? Brooke is the no-talent,...

The following is an excerpt from Ruth Hamilton's autobiography, "The Hamilton Saga." She wrote the book at age 90.  In the coming weeks, GrowingBolder.com will publish Ruth's description of her trip to Europe in the summer of 1937. As the people of...

I'm not sure where the thought came from - probably an episode of Oprah. I found myself wondering if the Middleton’s have enough family holiday traditions. Like any good dad, I want my children to cherish the memories of this wonderful time of...

    What can I say? I am exhausted but in a good way after experiencing the marvelous Diva Retreat. I know Beverly must have been exhausted as well as Carol, her assistant who recently lost her father and aunt. I tried to comfort her as...

Go ahead, make my bed   I can tolerate most household chores, with the exception of one or two tasks, but am I really alone?? When my children were mere tiny-tots, the daily routine never bothered me nor interfered with my lifestyle. I...

Growing Bolder Note: This a fabulous 2007 wrap-up written by Roger McGuinn's wife Camilla. As always, it's a fascinating tale that starts in the present and occasionally "timeshifts" to add context to the present. October 10, 2007: Roger was...
