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.

Why I prefer snow
If the mercury didn't rise to 100ยบ, it came close. And consequently today I rode the el with an unattractive phenomenon -- non-hygienic urban youths looking to sell OTC decongestant to get high. Yes, three really smelly kids had at least 30 boxes of Mucinex DM between them and not a one of them seemed to have a cold. Though a little nasal congestion would have helped me because they were really, really sweaty and stinky.
You don't see, or smell, this kinda thing on public transportation in December.
We call that "The Funk" at school. Especially the freshman funk. Ewww.
