    Madonna and her late concerts

    I have waited hour or longer for Judy Collins and bands when I was young. I was so annoyed that I wanted to leave.No excuses were given. Amateur bands in local bars were always late by an hour or longer, so people drink more. I never go nowadays. Never saw Madonna,but I loved her in Evita and...

    Watching movies you have already seen.

    I watch lots of movies over and over on dvd or television. Better than new ones I don't care about. If you saw a movie a very long ago it is almost like seeing it for the first time. Great actors are worth my time. Cagney is always. And I notice or hear something different in each viewing. The...

    Time Misers--a new poem

    Our golden years these days are true lies-- closer to silver- bronze, yet no prize. Settling for that, and seldom wiser to spend fewer years a couch miser. My tomorrows crawl and shrink narrowed in a thousand blinks. Minutes spent along railroad tracks, red lights for all our years back...

    Which would you rather have, love or money?

    Frank Sinatra hated Rock & Roll music

    It shows that Sinatra was not the cool dude he thought he was. Rock fans thought he was very uncool and simply old fashioned. I don't consider Neil Diamond as rock and can't stand him. Yet Sinatra was loved by fans and friends.

    This question lingers. Can men and women truly maintain a real friendship?

    Not at all. Don't confuse gender with sexuality...the question itself assumes the gender issue. Female and male.

    Gender is always part of it in some way.

    This question lingers. Can men and women truly maintain a real friendship?

    Yes. I am proof. Good friends only, on the phone and occasionally meeting. For over 10 years. She is easy to talk with and nonjudgmental, good memory of me. A senior, younger than me. I call her, or we text.
