Hi Peter, I'm a new reader to your newsletter. I'm 72, a bona fide OLDSTER (I'll have to check out the magazine). Your illustrations are great! I'm writing because your two b-day cards are right down my alley, humor-wise. I've written a piece of doggerel for friends who reach a certain age. It's the kind of poem that elicits laughs and knowing nods when read aloud at parties. I was wondering if you'd consider reading it, and, perhaps, do some illustrations to go with the words. This is a non-paying gig, by the way. But if something were to come of it, I would be happy to split any proceeds with you.
Your self-deprecating humor is chef’s kiss, and honestly, I now aspire to be as witty when I hit the "I don't remember my own answers" phase of life. Oh wait, I'm already there!

Fire away, Kevin. I’m at editrmh@gmail.com. At least it’ll be good for a chuckle. Thx. —Peter

Who are you, again?

I love all of your work, but I really loved your most recent essay. Hello right back at you!
I would not joke about a walker at your age 😛
Good point. How about back braces. Are they funny?
