Six-Word Memoirs
October 21, 2010
The current issue of AARP Magazine has a short piece titled “Six-Word Memoirs.” Many people have submitted theirs online. My favorite was “Located my childhood sweetheart. Shouldn’t have.” So, here are some six word memoirs of my life: A mistake, telling Steve Jacobs “No.” Can I do eighth grade again? Three children. Two husbands. No […]
I’ve Become A Cliche
October 20, 2010
I was sitting at my computer yesterday morning, minding my own business and looking like I do every morning: skimpy tee shirt with no bra (I am, shall we say, well-endowed and I should actually be sleeping in a bra), ratty pajama bottoms, electrified-looking hair. My Now Husband Dan had left to fondle his boat. […]

Exiled to Nicheville
October 18, 2010
I’m a bit concerned about my children (three) and my grandchildren (one arrived 16 months ago, the others mere thoughts as of this post). I am aware that, depending on which standard is used, my children are either Gen Xers or Gen Yers. Or both. This in itself is a problem. If my children are Gen […]

Over 500 years before the scent of smoking undergarments, women were writing and speaking on behalf of their rights. The modern suffragist movement began in the eighteenth century in France. In 1920, […]

An Uncommon Cold
October 12, 2010
I have a cold/virus/bacterial infection/whatever. No biggie. It’s not like I’m sick a lot. The last illness was about five lbs ago. I went to the doctor after whatever I had was building up for about five days. This consisted of: Be fine during the day and throughout the night. Wake up feeling like a […]

The Myth of "How To Get A Book Publisher!"
October 22, 2010
16
Five years ago (or 100, depending on quantum physics and the state of my mind), my two friends and I wrote a book about life over 50. After enough publishers (insert hiss, boo, bad, a lot of other negatives here) told us the book was great but there was no market for 1. a […]
