As I write this, I'm watching Abigail Adams tearfuly marry off her only daughter in the HBO mini-series. This came on right after the King documentary on The History Channel. And this morning, I finished book, The Day Lincoln Was Shot.
Except for the time spent listening to the Cubs kick Astro ass as I replaced the shelf paper under the sink, I have been ensconced in American history. It's been an exciting and emotional ride and I've enjoyed it enormously.
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.
King is on my Tivo to watch list
