These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Shame on you, Rep. Foley
I don't care if he says he's an alcoholic. Booze doesn't turn an otherwise morally upstanding citizen (gay or straight) into a pedophile. What he did was reprehensible. It was his job, his responsibility, to look out for the Congressional pages. And here he was preying upon them. Even worse, he had been the chairman of the House Caucus on Missing and Exploited Children, so he knew the impact his actions could have on these young people. He should now have to face the legal system. Our young people matter, and if individuals can't look out for them, then the system must.
