About Me

Hi! My name is Trish Coates and I am an unapologetic Boomer currently reveling in retirement. During my life, I wrote and spoke the words of other people. Now I am free to just be me and spout off regarding whatever pops into my little Boomer brain. Travel along with me as I see the world through a new prism, that of older and hopefully wiser sage.

I currently live in the Detroit metro area with my husband, Jeff, a retired accounting software guru. We have three children (two engaged, one married), two grandchildren, a fixer-upper house we bought 35 years ago that still needs some fixing up, and quite a few items on our bucket list. We cheer for all things Michigan State University and the Detroit Red Wings. Go Green! Go Wings!

In my working life, I was a trade press editor, a public relations associate, a self-employed newsletter writer, a retail clerk and a customer service rep.
