Quote of the day:
Life just keeps coming at you. Make no mistake, it's out to get you, and in the end it will. But every so often, you can catch a piece of it and make it do what you want it to, at least for a little while. You've got to stay alert, though. Heads up so you don't get caught off base, though if you do, what the hell, it's not the ninth inning, until it is. Jane Juska

Jean,
How right you are! In fact I watched an old Charlie Rose interview with Jane Juska in 2003 (on the Internet), and I was horrified how even he kept on going for the "sex" instead of her marvelous writing and her amazing life experiences. I have to say that her book has been "life changing" for me. Now - for the sequel!

I liked that book, and the sequel, a lot.
Sickening that all you hear from the media is about how gosh she managed to have lots of sex at her advanced age! You'd never know how clever and funny she is and what an excellent (and experienced, long before 'that' book) writer she is.
