Dave Rullo Presents: Aging Hip Replacement #37
A funny thing has happened on the way to the forum recently, more than once in the last few weeks different people in different walks of life have either asked me for advice or looked to me like an elder who was able to offer teachable moments or impart some form of advice. Now, if you know me at all you know that I look damn good on the outside but on the inside I’m a hot mess that only […]
Dave Rullo Presents: Aging Hip Replacement #29
Dave Rullo don’t need no stinkin’ turkey burger. Read as our curmudgeonly correspondent rails against healthy foods in the latest Aging Hip Replacement column.
Aging Hip Replacement #15: Time Keeps On Slippin’ (Slippin’…Slippin’…)
There’s been a lot of talk lately about things turning 20 this year. Hey, I’m as guilty as the next guy. This week it was all about Nirvana’s Nevermind turning 20. An important milestone for sure, but not nearly as important as the anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. In fact, if you were to ask most people I can guarantee they recall nothing about the release of Nevermind, but can tell you exactly where they were when they heard about […]
Aging Hip Replacement #13: Happy Birthday To Me
If you haven’t seen the billboards, saw the newspaper ads, watched the television or hear the commercials on the radio, if you’re completely unaware of what a rarified week this is then I’ll spill the beans and let you know that my birthday is this Saturday. 39, that’s the age I’ll be. What an odd year 39 is. On the surface it’s a nonevent, it isn’t 35, isn’t 40, it just sort of sits out there. 39 though, to me […]
Aging Hip Replacement #10: Defining Cool
“When is a person no longer interested in being cool?” That was the question asked at a business meeting I attended this week. As you know, I’ve been doing a little soul searching and research on that very topic here in this column so I was naturally interested. For some context—as you may know I work in radio. Don’t let the fact that it’s an all news radio station on the AM portion of the dial fool you: it’s still […]
Aging Hip Replacement–What The Hell is He Wearing?
Skinny pants. That’s the dividing line for me, skinny pants. It’s where I was no longer able to understand the fashion that the kids are wearing today. I don’t mean tight jeans, spandex, leotards, tights or any other form of fashion that tightly hugs the contours of the body. I’m talking “hey check out the skinny pants I just bought at Hot Topics” skinny pants. Growing up in my formative fashion years, hard rock and later grunge ruled the airwaves. […]
Aging Hip Replacement 3: Body Betrayal
If you’ve read these last two columns then you know that I’m writing about what the aging process and how it affects us, I say us but really I mean me. I thought that my columns would all be about the heady psychological issues that are related to growing up and aging in the world but this week I’ve decided to write about something a little different—how are body betrays us as we start to get old. When I was […]
