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.

Rubbing my eyes, thrilled to see it really happened!
After a thrilling Friday night of baseball, I woke up to see it all really is true!
SOLE POSSESSION OF NINTH PLACE. With his 343rd win last night, my beloved, future Hall of Famer Greg Maddux became the 9th winningest pitcher in the history of the game. It was a very hot night in Philly and he ran through more than one jersey, but he did it. The adrenaline rush inspired by a rather dirty play at second woke up the bats, and my fully-grown Precious Moments pitcher reigned supreme. Congratulations, Professor!
SOLE POSSESSION OF FIRST PLACE. The Cubs beat the Diamondbacks and rose to 1.5 games over the Brewers. And the team is doing this without Alfonso Soriano! Just imagine what happens when he returns to line-up!
Saturday Special #6
~Personal Preferences~
1. Quiet evening at home or Out on the town? My partygirl days are over, so my first impulse is to stay home. But every once in a while I like to go out on the town with friends.
2. Watch a movie or Reading a good book? Oooooo … this is such a tough one because I love them both so much! If it's a choice between watching a movie on DVD/cable or a book, I'll choose the book. But if it's actually going to the movies, sitting in a dark theater and eating Sno-Caps, I'll choose the movie.
3. Order a meal or Cooking one yourself? Ordering! So much less clean up afterward.
4. Going for a walk or Taking a ride in the car? Walking.
