Life at 82: R is for Rant
Imagine my shock when I found this rant! I remembered writing one for an assignment at the Iowa Summer Writing Festival, but didn't remember when, so I searched. Then I discovered I'd written this twenty years ago. My, how time flies! A rant is a bunch of fun--just go wild with whatever is on your …
Life at 82: I is for I
I is for I as in me. I may have begun to learn that I must curtail my traveling a bit at 82. Yesterday I endured an 11-hour day flying day with one nearly three-hour layover at O'Hare. The day included three gate changes, including a concourse change, at O'Hare, a $24 lunch of a …

Life at 82: B is for Ballooning
Vicariously enjoying the balloons on my way to the airport coming home... I did it, finally. I signed up to take a hot air balloon ride a few weeks ago while in AZ. I'd wanted to do this the last couple of years, but health stuff got in the way. Two years ago a hip …
