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.

Why I love the internet
Late 1940. Spencer Tracy, in priest's garb as he reprises the role of Father Flanagan in Men of Boys' Town, gets his copy of Why England Slept signed by the author, 23-year-old John F. Kennedy.
At the time, Tracy was a hugely respected actor, having just become the first man to win back-to-back Best Actor Oscars. Kennedy was a recent graduate of Harvard. His dad had been a movie producer and undoubtedly had a hand in setting up this publicity photo.
I think this is the coolest thing I've seen all week.
