Suspicious circumstances

I know somebody who knows somebody

A long time friend, so long that her name used to be Dee before moving uptown and changing it to the more sophisticated sounding Diana, and I spent some time together over the weekend.  We’d missed our get-together for her birthday a few months … Continue reading →

I have been a very bad girl

I ate ice cream for breakfast, donut(s) at work on Monday, chips for lunch (and dinner), and it got worse.  You are probably thinking I’m eating crazy because of all the long hours I am putting in at work.  Actually, … Continue reading →

Bladder buddies

“We’ve got to stop meeting like this,” I said to Lisa.  We’d run into each other several times lately at the stalls.  She’s expecting a baby; I’m old.  That’s probably all the information you need.  “You take the large stall,” … Continue reading →

Surrounded by super heroes

If you were to meet someone wearing a Pampers diaper on her head or another calling herself Hollowhead, you might not think of them as super heroes.  But I do. Sandie, my stalwart sister-in-law, better known as Captain Underpants, is recovering from … Continue reading →

Wild hairs

If you’re thinking I’m writing this post about cute little bunnies , think again. I’m getting old.  More parts come out at night than stay in.  I’m like a car on its last leg.  I’ve got leaks, and the only … Continue reading →

Short(er) hair club

Posted on January 5, 2012 by Penny Print This Post Print This Post

After I got my hair cut short a couple of weeks ago, one of my friends at work cut hers.  “You inspired me,” she said. “Makes you look ten years younger,” I said.  “That’s what some old geezer told me.” “Thanks,” I … Continue reading →

Old movies, old jokes, old-ish folks

What do you get when you have four half-century-plus (heavy on the plus side) folks sitting at a dining room table?  Soft food, multiple trips to the bathroom, louder conversations, dozing off (and it’s not even dark outside).  Just kidding.  … Continue reading →

Don’t mess with my Heinz

Today we bid farewell to one of a kind.  Linda was both unique and special.  When I was growing up, I hated being different.  Linda embraced it.  Because of that trait, she endeared herself to many.  As I have watched those … Continue reading →

Faces of the season

We got the memo.  All three of us wore black.  I brought pizza and soda, and all the conveniences except a tablecloth, to get us through the long car drive to North Hollywood for our annual adventure to see a … Continue reading →
