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.

American Idol -- Hollywood Week
My first sit down with American Idol and I'm so loving it. It's the first year without Paula, and a guy named Andrew just did "Straight Up." I'm sorry she missed it. But Ellen is charming. Can't imagine this show without Simon, though.
HOLLYWOOD WEEK!
Heads or Tails #24 -- Chains
HEADS - "Chain"
This week's prompt has me time travelling back to 1967, and two of the favorite things in my 9-year-old life.
• Adding to my gum wrapper chain
• Singing along with Aretha, "Cha-cha-chain-ee-ain-ee-ain, Chain of Fools."
