You could feed a sub panel from one of those upper breakers and put the new loads on that sub panel.

Yeah, that's what this is coming down to, I think.
Another option is to replace the whole panel since it's so old. I'm not sure this would buy me very many extra slots though. As you can see, the panel is pretty full already.
The main reason to do this would be so that I can power all circuits in my house from my generator (currently there is a transfer switch with only 6 of the circuits hooked up). I know there are some panels that can be wired to do this without the use of a transfer switch on each circuit.
If this was your panel, what would you do? Does anyone care to make a ballpark guess as to what it might cost to have an electrician redo the entire panel for me this way?
Thanks so much for all your help everyone! I appreciate it.
