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.

The old gray mare ain't what she used to be
I am referring to both myself and to Vegas. I just returned from the most uneventful weekend I've ever spent in Glitter Gulch. Not that I didn't enjoy myself; I did. It felt great to cheat the calendar and walk around in the warm sun again, this time with a frozen daiquiri in hand. We laughed a lot. But I got tired so much more easily than I did five years ago, when I was last there. What happened to the lass who couldn't sleep and was out at the tables by 8:00 AM? This time I slept in as late as possible both days. And the crowd, while more dense, seemed older and more subdued, as well. Maybe Las Vegas and I are both aging fast.
