Laverne has been writing her humor column, “Laverne’s View,” since 1994 and has been syndicated by Senior Wire since 2004. Her book, “How The (Bleep) Did I Get This Old?” is a collection of those columns, where she laughs at aging in particular, and everything else in general. She is a skillful eavesdropper and is hooked on nonsensical signs, such as one she saw on the back of a dump truck that read, “Do Not Follow,” which forced her to take an unfamiliar route home. She blogs for Huffington Post.
