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.

Hey, Chicago, what do you say? Cubs are gonna win today!
Put those brooms away! The Cubs spanked the Cardinals 10-3, and the four-game skid is finally over. Congratulations to Kosuke Fukodome, who had a terrific day at the plate today, his birthday. I imagine it will be a happy team that flies out to Arizona tonight.

2. Which item from your wardrobe do you wear most often? Jeans
3. What's for dinner? For Sunday dinner I plan on having meat of some sort. Sausage on my pizza, perhaps a juicy burger ...
4. Last thing you bought? Movie ticket for State of Play.
5. What are you listening to? Law & Order: SVU.
6. If you were a god/goddess who would you be? You mean I'm not a goddess?
7. Favorite holiday spots? Key West for New Year's Eve.
8. Reading right now? Go Down Together, the real story of Bonnie and Clyde.
9. 4 words to describe yourself. Strong, sentimental, optimistic, and short.
10. Guilty pleasure? Celebrity gossip. US, People, Showbiz Tonight, etc.

12. Planning to travel to next? Key West for New Year's Eve.

14. When did you last get tipsy? I mixed myself a pair of too-strong cran and vodkas one day after work nto that long ago.
