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.

Sunday Stealing
Sunday Stealing: The Magical Mystery Tour Meme
1. Is there anybody you just wish would fall off the planet? Not at the moment. Which is refreshing.
2. How do you flush the toilet in public? With my hand. Unless I'm visiting my client. In that office, the handle is a foot pedal.

4. Do you have a crush on someone? Yes.
5. Name one thing you worry about running out of. Coca Cola. That's why it's perennially on my shopping list.
6. What famous person do you (or other people) think you resemble? I used to hear that I looked like Cruise Director Julie McCoy. But since the Love Boat has been off the air, I get that way less often.
7. What is your favourite pizza topping? It changes. I've gone through sausage and pepperoni phases, but now I'm back to plain cheese. (It is just me, or did that sound rather vulgar?)
