So, I just discovered this blog/site.
Damn. Where have you been hiding?
The real question is what’s wrong with me for not finding you?
As an older boomer in an industry that is driven by younger people, and I’m not talking about pro sports or
adult movies, not acting/being old is an everyday
obsession. The fact that others are having a good time dealing with it is, well, cool. Is that an okay word to use?
Or did I just commit a boomer faux pas???

I have some tips:

1) Never let anything surprise you. No matter how bizarre it is. 2) Act like you know what an ipod, iphone or GPS system is and how it works. Or at least nod your head when someone talks about them. 3) Be energetic in your voice. No matter how tired you are, a “perky” voice always makes people think you’re alot younger. Especially on the phone. 4) If you’re petite, it’s to your advantage. For whatever reason, people think you’re younger when you’re 5’3″ or shorter. Who knew?

I’ve done all of these and people think I’m 15-20 years younger than I am. Granted, I’m not as old as Yoda either, but they work.

So, I’m hard at work and I get one of those funny e-mails that I usually try to avoid acknowleging because who wants to encourage that sort of thing it just interrupts your day and then you end up getting a thousand and it’s…
oh, right, back to my point…
or, as the kids say, “long story short,”
(#44 Don’t say “the kids, and
#45 Don’t say “long story short”)
usually right before launching into a medium or even longish version…
what was I saying?
(#46 If you forget what you’re saying – fake it)
oh, right –
#43 Don’t ramble on!
By the way, thanks for the large type window – I hate those tiny ones where you can’t even…
#44 Don’t whine
# 45 Don’t use proper sentences, grammar, usage, syntax, speling, or capitalization online

Love your website! It is already making me more popular. Take last night at the MFEE teacher toast for instance. I think I quite impressed everyone with your little quips about Liam Neeson and not using words like “beast” and “rocks”. And as for not planning? This tip makes the fact that my kids have no camps planned for the summer and school lets out in 10 days look like a brilliantly youthful move. Wait till I tell everyone about waxing at the class party! Looking forward to much much more!

Thank you!
