In the Middle

Coping with aging parents, growing kids and everything in the middle

She’s Got the Look

June
12

I can’t resist those reality shows about women of a certain age.

True, the one about the “cougar” who was dating boys in their twenties turned out to be ridiculous, but when it comes to modeling shows like “She’s Got the Look,’’ which premiered last night on TV Land, I find myself glued to the television.

I already know who my favorite contestant is: Dolores, a  72-year-old former model who’s got the most confidence and charisma of the whole bunch.

Click here to learn more about her.

Wouldn’t it be great if her age ends up being irrelevant and she wins the competition?

By the way, I’ll be out of the office next week and unable to post entries to the blog. But feel free to visit and contribute comments. See you June 22!

About this blog

We've been called "the sandwich generation" and with good reason. Most of today's baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1964) are dealing with aging parents and college-age kids -- or starting again as empty nesters, adapting to a new life without children at home.


In the Middle will address a variety of topics, including caring for aging parents (medical, ethical, emotional and financial issues) and caring for parents long-distance (what do we do when parents live out of state, or are citizens of another country and we can't bring them to the U.S. for medical care?).


It will also cover the way we deal with the financial and emotional demands of our teenage and young-adult children. Middle age also presents its own "crises": How do we handle that first mailing from AARP? Preventive health screenings (like colonoscopies and bone-density tests)? What are the dating options for those who find themselves single in middle age?


In the Middle will explore all these topics and more, as we share resources and learn from each other's experiences.
