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.

Trifecta
The weekend challenge: Take a famous story, poem, book, or fable, and retell it in exactly 33 words.
The Titanic
An early and tragic testament to the Power of The 1%. Only
25% of the third class passengers who board the ship just before noon on April
10, 1912, will survive the ride.
Thanks for linking up this weekend. Wow, did you ever nail this! You managed to give us an old story with a unique perspective. Nicely done. Hope to see you back for the weekday challenge.
Please note: If you have a WordPress blog, I can't return the favor and comment on your post unless you change your settings. WordPress hates me these days.
