MIAMI, January 27  -- A 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 85-years old who 'became senior before their time.'

"That's all of us," says 65-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."
