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.

Sailor: "Sail on, Sailor." The Beach Boys
Ship: "There's a port on a western bay and it serves 100 ships a day." Brandy by Looking Glass
