By: Jill Pertler No one plans to date after 50, but you never know the details life will hand you: divorce, death of a spouse, boredom, aloneness – it all leads to one thing. You find yourself being half of a couple in a couple’s world. Such a conundrum. You were once half the age of 50 and probably a couple, now you are twice as old and twice as alone – or at least it feels that way; it’s the hand you’ve been dealt. Dating at 20 is one thing. It is beautiful. You are beautiful and the people around you (and willing to date you) are equally b...

By JULIE JARMAN The joys of reading are and have been a mainstay throughout my life. I can literally not remember a time when I did not have a book in my hand. I even remember the very first time being inside a library when my mother took me along with her while I was very young. The almost somber and hushed tones of the room, beautiful books in numerous bookcases of all sizes, shapes and forms. Even the way the plastic book protectors bounced off in the light felt magical. Since then, many hours have been spent in several different libraries o...
