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.

Love
My Man Godfrey is one of my all-time favorite movies, and it was the one shown last night to my classic film Meet Up. I'd never seen it on the big screen or with a group. The print was sharp and wonderful -- I could actually see that little half-moon scar that Lombard was so self-conscious about!
There's a woman in our group -- Rebecca -- who I thought had real friend potential and was disappointed by how annoyed she was with Lombard. Screwball heroines are supposed to be silly! (And cagey-smart and beautiful and very well dressed.) Oh well, I forgive her.
Spent more time with Martha. Found out she's 60, with a 41 year old daughter, and she longs to be a grandmother. Also, like me she lost her mother recently and commented on how high-spirited her mom was. "She was the most beautiful woman at her funeral." I found that comment very touching.
