Macular degeneration

Last week, for the first time in my life, I met a man suffering from macular degeneration.  Over the course of the past 5 years, he has become increasingly blind and there is nothing that can be done to help him see more clearly.  Within a few months or another few years, he will [...]

Exxxit — life after porn

What?  Life after porn?  What is Janet writing about now, you ask?  Yegads.  Well, last night I met a new friend and very cool guy while watching the Lakers’ game.  Michael Abbott is an indie producer/director and DOP (director of photography) and I had a great chat about his new movie, “Exxxit” - over some very [...]

Sunset Daze coming to a retirement community near you…

By now, you’ve probably seen commercials WE tv’s new reality show,  “Sunset Daze”,  which follows an active & eclectic group of retirees as they live out their golden years skydiving, dating, partying, and checking off their bucket lists.  

I had the pleasure of previewing the premiere episode and I have to say I got a few chuckles [...]

The Princess and The Frog

When any new movie comes out that appeals to my 9-year old, we  “HAVE” to go.  We “MUST”.  Otherwise, she’ll just “DIE!”  This past Sunday night, I did a very unparent-like thing.  I took my daughter to the 7 pm showing of Disney’s “The Princess and The Frog”.  OK.  It is wonderful.  Do you [...]

Whirlwind days at LA Auto Show…and for GM in more ways than one.

There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year.  The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.)  The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM. 

By now, everyone [...]

Is the Cruze gonna cruise?

Volt is on the left and Cruze is on the right

The great thing about the Auto Show media events is that you get to speak with the designers and marketers and really get inside their heads and their visions for their cars.  Today’s Chevrolet event highlighted the Volt and the Cruze.  The designers [...]

Wow…what a morning for GM.

On the heels of a really impressive morning, exploring the Cadillac lineup and the stylish Chevrolet Cruze (and one of my faves, the Volt), comes the announcement from General Motors that Fritz Henderson has resigned as President and CEO of General Motors.   I was kind of surprised.  I’m a taxpayer, so I guess his boss, [...]

Does electric propulsion excite you as it does me??

I’m heading off the to LA Auto show this week (some distinct advantages to living in LA, when the auto show comes to town!) and looking forward to learning as much as I can for all of us Boomer and 50 plus types through the backstage pass a press credential gives you.  Not only [...]

My New Year’s resolution?

A very happy and healthy new year to all my friends and readers who are Jewish and celebrating Rosh Hashana this weekend.  One good thing about celebrating both the Jewish New Year and the C.E. New Year is that I get to make my resolutions twice.  I’m sure it’s going to be a challenging one.  [...]

Are you in a Crisis? Midlife Crisis Queen releases new book

Laura Lee Carter, well-known blogger (Midlife Crisis Queen), recently released her book “Midlife Magic: Becoming the Person you are Inside!”

It’s could almost be sad to say that books about the midlife crisis have become relatively available.  However, there is something very compelling about a writer baring her emotional soul to the anonymous reader. 

In this [...]
