Does that count?
I'm watching the latest Ken Burns documentary, The Roosevelts: An Intimate History,
on PBS. I do love my American history, and I do admire Ken Burns' work.
So I'm completely jacked about this. I learned, just now, that as a boy
Teddy Roosevelt watched Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession when it
went through New York. I find this historic convergence very moving.
The
only dark cloud on my gloriously geeky horizon is that it's PBS. They have a way
of making me feel I haven't done enough to support the channel and pay
for the program I'm watching. I have contributed to my local station,
but it was only $20. Is that enough?
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 60!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. 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.
