Maturation

Somebody found my blog through the interesting phrase “Mature Spandex.” I’ve long since given up trying to figure out why certain phrases lead people here (and yes, Marina Sirtis is still in the top 10), but this one caught my eye. I searched on it, just to see what came up, and as I scrolled [...]

Spurting Fountain of Youth

I’ve really been enjoying some of the interesting science and health news lately.

This Old Body

I saw this picture in the Sunday paper, along with an article about this man and some of his work. You are looking at a recent picture of Dr. Jeffry Life.
Dr. Life was 67 years old at the time this picture was taken.
If you ignore that he has a head that looks like your grandfather, [...]

So shallow

Is there anything that brings out the shallow, the vain, and the insecurities like a high school reunion?
My graduating class committee seems to plan get-togethers not only at the decade, but at other points, too. I’ve missed a few because I already had other plans, but I do try to attend them when I can. [...]

CHICAGO (Reuters) – Getting old does not mean saying so long to sex, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.
More than three-quarters of American men aged 75 to 85 and half of women that age are still interested in sex, a survey of [...]

HNT: Ridden hard & put away wet

No, you silly people, that’s a term from the horsey set, not the BDSM set. But it’s essentially what happened to me as I was trying to lose 5 pounds on a vacation. The occasion is Mrs. Edge’s family reunion, and instead of being cooped up in an oversized cottage on the Carolina shore with [...]

I’m so vain (I prob’ly think this post is about me)

I may have mentioned that last summer, Mrs. Edge and I spent the summer working out at a gym with a trainer. This was a result of my health scare combined with her thinking about getting lipo. We decided to give the harder route a try first.
We’d meet after work and on alternate [...]

Search me

Dev’s note on her top search terms led me to take a look at what my own have been; not just for last week, but for the last couple of years. I’ve sorted out the variations on the top searches; I’ve thrown out the searches on the blog name itself, and I’ve come up with [...]

No sex please, you’re old.

From the excellent blog Hit & Run, hosted by Reason Magazine comes this interesting article:
“And Then They Started Having Sex”

Melinda Henneberger at Slate writes about 82-year-old Dorothy and 95-year-old Bob, whose love affair at the nursing home for dementia patients is considered adorable until it turns sexual.
To justify keeping [...]

HNT: Half(century) Naked Tom

It’s been a while since I’ve done an HNT, and since I’ve been on a rant all week long (rage, rage against the dying of the light, and all that), it seems like a good time to post some pictures of what a shriveled, dried-up, half century old guy looks like.
The first one is me [...]
