What does it mean that Monica Bellucci, age 50, will be the next Bond girl?

I love it. Of course, she knows how to dress 😀

I am 45 and I am fabulous, and so is this blog post. Thank you!

Thanks Joe, and dig the silver hair. Silver foxes stick together. I know what you mean. I’m in Ju-Jitsu and can outfight teenagers because I am in far better shape. and THANKS for the man’s perspective. So I take it you aren’t going for the sock garters any day soon? LOL

I’m ready to turn 52 on March 1, and I’ve heard all of the “criticism” from people, some well meaning with an attempt at humor. You know, about getting old, more gray hairs, wearing clothing that’s worn or out of style (who get’s to judge this??).

My take is I’m alive and vibrant and can do and wear whatever the f*&k I want. I keep my hair gray because I like the way it looks, I prefer not to dress like a drone, and truth be told I’m in better shape than a lot of guys half my age. And getting better. No matter how much I age, I will be respected and I will be able to run with you. Especially with this younger generation of the soft and coddled, it’s really not that hard.

That’s a man’s perspective. I will get older, but I will think like a young man, and I will go down fighting the older I get. Great blog, Kristen. You have been followed. 😉

Which is great, because I have fifty pairs of athletic anklets and no two pair are alike.

The only thing that bothered me, and I think I’m the only one who thinks this, is the part about asking why. I could see in some mission critical time is of the essence setting how a “why?” is only good after the fact. It’s why after action reviews were invented. But no “why?” ever by a youngster? Ever ever? Maybe it’s my younger systems analyst side thinking that if I don’t know why the system does what it does, how can I enhance or duplicate it? Plus, why and what are two of my favorite words. And my older, over forty nearly fifty side says I’m certainly old enough to ask all the whys I want to. 🙂

As always, love your blog.

I don’t even like to walk past their shop in the mall – very snobby employees. What a disgusting legacy for a company to leave…

I’m on my way to find that pinterest page!
