| 'Suddenly
Senior'
Takes
Humorous
Look
at
Seniors
|
MIAMI,
June
27
--
The
new
weekly
Internet
column
called
Suddenly
Senior
speaks
seriously
to
and
about
60
million
Americans
often
overlooked
by
media
and
advertisers.
The
Internet
magazine,
suddenlysenior.com,
features
humor
and
hope
for
those
50-
to
75-years
old
who
'became
senior
before
their
time.'
"That's
all
of
us,"
says
64-year-old
Frank
Kaiser,
the
site's
writer,
editor
and
'chief
bottle
washer.'
"Even
the
thousands
of
Boomers
who
now
daily
join
the
senior
ranks
need
someone
to
echo
their
deepest
feelings,
hopes
and
fears
--
someone
reporting
from
the
front
lines
of
the
profound
experience
of
becoming
a
geezer
and
enjoying
it.
'Suddenly
Senior'
provides
that
voice
with
warmth,
humor,
clarity
and
in-your-face
honesty."
Topics
include
nostalgia,
changes
noticed
but
seldom
mentioned
by
the
senior
set
(ear
hairs,
ever-growing
noses),
sex
now
and
then,
even
rants
about
social
security
and
job
discrimination.
Kaiser
includes
many
other
writers
on
his
site.
"If
it's
a
fresh,
funny
look
at
seniordom,
it's
on
the
'Suddenly
Senior'
site,"
he
declares.
"Suddenly
Senior"
syndicates
to
national
newspapers
and
magazines.
"When
I
turned
senior
I
saw
that
newspapers
rewarded
me
with
dull
stuff
like
stock
tips,
retirement
and
gardening
advice,"
says
Kaiser.
"Being
a
senior
is
so
much
more
than
that."
Kaiser's
site
already
has
a
devoted
following.
Every
day,
e-mail
shows
that
Kaiser
has
apparently
struck
a
resonant
chord.
Al
Christian
of
Key
Largo,
Florida
writes,
"Suddenly
Senior
really
tells
it
like
it
is.
My
wife,
June,
and
I
can't
wait
each
week
to
see
how
closely
you
capture
our
lives
and
hopes.
You're
a
funny
guy,
Frank
Kaiser!"
A
recent
review
from
Briefme.com
declared,
"Check
out
Frank
Kaiser's
'Suddenly
Senior'
web
site
to
get
the
real
truth
of
growing
up
and
older
in
a
society
that
has
difficulty
acknowledging
and
respecting
older
folks.
Real
stories
through
real-life
experiences
will
touch
your
heart
and
your
funny
bone!
You
will
gain
a
sense
of
humor
and
reality
from
these
true
tales."
