How did you get one of your scars? Last April, before dawn, we actually had a 5.2 earthquake. Here. In Chicago! Either my response startled my cat Joey, or his startled me, but as he and I were scrambling out of bed, he scratched the inside of my left knee. It wasn't deep, but for some reason it left a scar.
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.
Ahhh, Hugh Jackman.
