Where is my rocking chair? Today I am officially a senior citizen. I am in Miami and they used to call this G-D’s waiting room. Now I am one of the oldest on the beach.
In the world of the Internet, there is no such thing as old age. The people I talk to everyday on the net don’t see me in terms of years I have spent on the earth. I can pretend to be anyone I want to be behind the keys of my computer.
But my mirror knows exactly how old I am. There are days when I don’t recognize myself. I see spots and lines I never saw before and I swear my neck is getting lower than the bottom of the mirror each time I look.
I received 130 wishes on Facebook. I also have several texted messages from friends who were driving in their cars. Hope they arrive safely. Hmm.
Whitney and Eliot bought Madonna concert tickets for tonight. We are on a concert roll. Last night she didn’t perform till 11pm for a 8pm show. The crowd almost walked. Let’s see what happens tonight.
I got an iPad mini for my birthday. I have to say I will probably never use the bigger iPad again. It is just like having an iPhone on steroids. Everyone who has a Kindle or Nook knows that the mini size is just perfect. The iPad mini has all of the same functions as the original iPad but it is weighs much less and is easier to carry around. Walt Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal did a complete review of it with every detail
you would ever want to know. Click here.
There were many people who were critical of Steve Jobs that he didn’t go to the mini size immediately. Sometimes you just have to start bigger to get it right. This is perfect. So, if you are thinking of buying an iPad get the mini. The larger sizes might go away forever.
This old lady needs to take another look in the mirror before we go out to celebrate the big 65. Boy do I have guts!

Way to go, Lois. Bet Madonna will still be performing on that stage at 65!
Hope you and Eliot have a great Thanksgiving.
Her body kills. I have never seen anything like it.
My Mom and I send you lots of Love for your 65th……Arlene
Thank you so much. Love to Lillian
Although I’m 44, one of my best friends (“Dee”, the other half of the “Dee Dialogue Blog”) is nearly 71. Based on her input in our blog, I’d say that you still have much to offer for many years to come. As you said in the second paragraph of your blog post, age is only the amount of time you’ve spent on earth. It’s the measurement of our on-the-job experience at being human. I wish you joy, wisdom and a very happy (belated) birthday. ~Vicki
Thank you for your lovely comments. So nice of you to share. Great way to start a day!!
Happy birthday. 65 is the new 40 with health coverage and an allowance what could be better?
I will take every bit. We are moving on up!!!
Happy Birthday Dear Lois! Larry says we’ll be seeing you in early March. Yeah! Madonna did the same thing here…didn’t go on stage until 10:30 for a 8 PM show. WTF! Fortunately, she had done the same thing the night before so we drank/ate at a nearby restaurant and we didn’t arrive until 9:45 PM. The show was great. Two jam-packed hours. She seemed rather angry/annoyed as we were for her tardiness. This will be the last time we’ll go see her. Too bad. xoxo
Agreed!!!
Happy, happy!
